Noticed while fiddling with my gears yesterday that my freehub appears to be dragging. When I stopped pedalling (with it upside down) the cranks would continue to spin with the wheel.
The wheels are DT Swiss R24 spline db disc. That's the 3-pawl freehub. Is the fix likely to just be a case of taking the freehub off, giving it a clean, lightly greasing it and putting it back together? Will I need to replace bearings?
Does the freehub have its own sealed bearing? The DT swiss tech docs just seem to suggest the hub has two 15x28x7 (6902) bearings.
