Hi, has anyone replaced the worn pawls in there rear hub? Did it seem to skip afterwards? I'm starting to think the inside teeth of the hub are also worn. I changed frame at the same time as i did the pawls, and since then the gears skip. All other bits were carried over from the previous build, which had no issues! And yes, the gears are adjusted correctly 😆
Did you put loads of grease in the freehub? it can stop engagement.
are you sure its not the chain slipping over the casette? new chain / old cassette?
My suspicion would be an issue with your re-installation.
Sensible amount of grease, old cassette + chain + rings. I've had the freehub off and checked a couple of times, so really think it may be worn hub - boo 😥
how old?
they last a long time.
Have you tried turning the chain over?
A
have you put the pawl springs in the wrong way round? you can do this apparently 😳
How sensible amount of grease? Take some out, you can just use xc lube and no grease. Make sure the seal is properly inserted and the washer / spacer between the hub and free hub!
I think i'll try taking all the grease out, except a thin film and see how that goes. The hub is about 3 years old, and has had some harsh use, so i've had my moneys worth from it if it is dead!
Hope can replace the ratchet ring anyway I believe if it is dead
I would take it all apart and check you did get the springs and pawls in right
Sounds like the springs..
New springs aswell! It was all ok before new parts put in there. I'm going to do some stripping tomorrow, then i'll take a look at the bike after 😆
