i degreased my cassette at the weekend whilst fitting a new chain and now when i freewheel there is a very unnerving viration through the bike. It stops as soon as I'm pedaling...

I have four questions that I need help with...
1. Is it possible that I may have degreased the freehub accidentally and it's this that is causing the problem?
2. are formula freehubs the same as shimano?
3. does anyone have any instructions on how to remove formula freehubs? is it the same big allen key as shimano?
4. are formula hubs (as standard on cannondale badboy) cup and cone or cartridge bearings?

i've had a look on parktool and they don't explicitly cover formula freehubs...

Thanks

    sounds like you may have washed the grease out.

    No they are not the same.

    it depends on what hub it is.
