Got a problem with my rear hub. When pedalling it's fine, but once I start to freewheel it makes a clicking/rubbing noise, and when spun by hand feels 'rough'. It's a DT Swiss 370 hub. Does it just need a service? Hasn't been used much...

Thanks
Marin

    might, you need to work out if it is the hub or the body. sounds more like the body bearings.

    How do I work that out?

    Thanks

    Now it doesn't engage properly either, so the freehub can be spun either direction atm.

    Replacement free hubs are £60 :shock: Any help nick? :P

    and read the tech docs and strip and service, and replace what needs replacing.

    is it the 370 or the 370SL?

    OK Thanks, it's the 370. Do you think I should buy the service kit? (£5).

    Any chance the freehub already needs replacing?

    open it up and see what is going on.

    you may not need anything. but you may need more.

    I did open it up the other day, didn't have enough time to do anything, and all I saw anyway was loads of grease! :lol: Will have a look later...
