Evening campers,
I know there’s a few Edinburgh folks on here, maybe even some that work in the trade?
Urgently need freehub bearings replaced, or whole freehub replaced, on a hope pro 4 rear hub.
Would be great if anyone can at least recommend somewhere that may be capable of this. I’ll do some phoning round in the morning.
I’m up in Embra on holibobs with family, did Dunoon on Christmas Eve with my son (awesome! Bloody hard!), glentress yesterday with more family for a cracking day – there were already some ‘odd’ noises occasionally from the hub. Today we went for a brutal push round the pentlands, and at the furthest point of the ride, just as we finally turned away from the wind, the freehub shat itself. Arses.
Investigation tonight shows that one freehub bearing completely ate itself, hopefully not damaging the axle/ hub. I have all the bits and tools to replace/fix, but at home. Bollocks.
Heading down to Yorkshire on New Year’s Eve for more riding, kinda need this fixed tomorrow.
Help and guidance gratefully received.
