Wonder if your’s is an early hub and they changed the seal size at the same time?
I too find it frustrating that my ProII ss hub needs much more attention than a 1996 XC hub that is still in regular use….. That one has a proper radial seal instead of the crappy axial contact plastic ring they use now (I’ve found Hope ignore any comments / suggestions like this and just quietly and efficiently send free replacement parts ready to fail again in another 6 months).
Well, just spoken to Nick and the early hubs they did use a smaller seal. So i wasnt imagining it !!. He has scoured the place and found one. It is being posted. Thanks for the help everyone. i will measure the new one with the old ( potentially worn) one and see if it is worn. He says that if it still lets water in , in the way i described, then a new freehub is possibly the way.
