after washing my bike a few days ago the freehub mechanism started making some grinding sound while back-pedaling or riding without spinning the pedals.
I washed the drivetrain with dish-soap and poured some clean water on it in order to remove the soap...
anyway, after this treatment the freehub started making the annoying grinding sound.
How do i fix this problem?
Thanks! :D

    What is the freehub?

    Does this turn freely - so the chain doesn't gather?

    Could have just washed some grit into the edge of the flange, rmove cassette and have a look!
