I tried to remove the freehub but I couldn't loosen the nuts on the axle as they where very, very tight, and I don't wan't to mess it up.
I assume that if they carry this brand they should be able to fix it, but given the bad rep their mechanics have I'm a bit hesitant.
Halfords guys seem to vary tremendously. I have meet some that are good mechanics and some that should not be allowed near a spanner. Its a gamble IMO
Have you got decent tools? Decent tools should allow you to remove the nuts Or take it to an proper bike shop
I do hve decent tools, yes, but then I'll need to source the relpacement...I think I'll take the gamble..
Yeah Halfords is a lucky dip, some shops are great, some terrible.
Freehub in my carrera broke, I went in to see about a replacement, they hemmed and hawed and poked the stock database a bit and said "not sure we can get a freehub, we'll have to get you a wheel" then thought about that a bit more and went and pulled a new one off a display bike and said "here just have this". What I'd maybe lost in terms of super knowledgableness, I gained back in "really not giving a shit", ideal.
lol, I guess I'll have to go and test the waters 🙂
