Mavic freehub issues.

Post by Alistair Hey » 22 Oct 2013 11:02

My 2012 Mavic aksium freehub is not behaving

wheel has done about 4000km
have replaced the pawls/springs + freehub body.

However, the freehub is still sticking (I have used the correct thin mineral oil)
(and the washer is still in place)

any ideas?

Maybe contact your supplier or Mavic for advice and possible warranty replacement.

I had a problem with a Hope freehub earlier in the year, and contacted Hope just for technical advice. Even though it was 2 1/2 years old and covered about 15000Km, they offered to replaced it free of charge.

The hub bodies wear. This sticking is often accompanied by a whining sound. No easy fix to be honest. New hub ? Seeing as these wheels are so cheap though ......

Can you have a look at my question about a loose Shimano bottom bracket
