Back wheel is a few months old and freehub has never really freed up. Just heard a plasticy squeeky sound turning the wheel slowly on the workstand. Im thinking the freehub seal thing is maybe the wrong way round ? Is there a correct orientation ([url= http://www.hopetech.com/webtop/modules/_repository/documents/ProIIEVORearExploded.pdf ]exploded view[/url] doesnt really show) ?
mine did the same, i pulled out the adaptors on the sides and greased them as there was dry and the seals sqeeled, same as yours, only slow speed on the stand
Cheers Pondy thats sorted it but it seems the wonderfully better SS bearings have gone in the hub after just 4 months 🙁
mine around about 6 or 7 months old, used no were near as much as i would have liked and they are not feeling great, they dont have play but are getting rough and tight to turn, the front it spot on and will spin all day
Mmm, my back hope hub does the same, quiet squeak with slight turn of the wheel. What do I need to do to the hub?

My hope hub is 3 rides old and it sounds like theres a mouse in it...
This happened on mine when i got it, turned out to be the outer bearing on the freehub. i popped out the seal and packed it with grease. its been fine since.
Mine did that, I rode it, it eventually stopped.
I popped the seals on mine, plenty of grease, shame the bearings are square though.
