Hi All,

I have an odd problem I've noticed when road riding, if I'm flat out on a descent and coasting along the rear mech feels like its getting caught up on something, if I look down (briefly!) i can see it flicking up as it catches??

I'm worried as it gets worse it will eventually get caught up and snap off or something unpleasant like that?

thanks in advance........

strip clean and lube it, there may be a bearing seized / faulty that needs to be replaced
