Just took the freehub off my just out the box new set of Zipp 303 Firecrest to check it had the newest bearings installed (it does) but now I can't get the hub back on - it has too many pawls and they wont stay down even when adding a wee bit more grease! Anyone got any tips?

    Back in the day we used to wrap a piece of cotton around the pawls to pull them all in leaving a longish length of cotton free, then pull the cotton out once the pawls were all engaged. Will this work with your freehub?

    Ha! That's exactly what I tried. Sadly it didn't work - but I might give it another shot...
