Dura ace 7850-CL wheels : sticky freehub
Just got a pair of these, and having put on a cassette and put onto bike on a stand, noticed that the freehub is really slow- give the rear wheel a spin and its only a few revs before slowing, obvioulsy ok pedalling but coasting won't be ideal
Is this a common problem? will they free up with wear in or should i send em back?
They sound ok- a muffled ticking, compared with my knacked old ksyrium elites which are loud ratchet (and also a bit slow, but not quite like this)
have done obvious schoolboy error checks like seated properly, nothing rubbing etc etc
They also came with a bent skewer which was a bit poor- thats defo going back

Great wheels. Ive noticed the fron one is much more free running.
if a bit of use doesn't sort it will think again.
cheers
Am gonna give it a few weeks too, you read a lot about Shimano hubs being vertight but I'd rather not touch them if I don't have to.
Thanks
