I have just changed the pawl springs in the rear hub and thought everything went back square and true.
So why would the freehub drag? cranks spin with wheel when bike is upside down 🙁
or will it settle down after a ride.
Seal not seated properly, spacer missing are the two usual culprits
wot TJ said
I had quite a bit of head scratching before finding the spacer underneath the kitchen table.
work fine once back on!
The spacer/washer between the bearing and the freehub? defo fitted.
so maybe the Drive side seal seated to far in.
Looking at the explode drawing I don't remember a washer between the outer bearing and the end cap 😕
seal then - not seated properly
Big seal between freehub and body not in right, would be my guess (2nd most likely cause after forgetting the wee spacer whose entire purpose is to be forgotten)
