Campag Freehub Reliabilty
I used to have Euros, and they were great wheels - the only trouble I ever had with them was that the freehub parls started sticking after about 6 months - eventually I bought a new freehub.
Last year, I bought some bling bling gold Shamals. Again, great hoops, but after cleaning my bike today, I was spinning he wheels while running some lube over the chain, and the freewheel started making a grinding noise once every revolution, both backwards and whilst driving forward.
I took the freehub off, and one of the parls was a bit 'sticky', and a little looser that the other two. I rubbed some excess grease off, and played around a bit, and it seems OK now.
Has anyone had troubles with the Campag freehubs? I've always used Campag, but this seems to be a bit of a fault as it's unlikely to be coincidence. I've now just got my fingers crossed that it was just abit of grime or something...

Yes I have had this problem, but at least you can service Campag ones, you just have to throw a shimano freehub body away!!Greetings from the wet and windy North west0
