Hi all
Anyone had similar to above?
Even if I just hand tighten the end caps, the freehub becomes very draggy and sticky. Freehub is exactly the same as the one I removed, a 3 pawl Novatec type A, hub is an Ambrosio Zenith.
Why don't you refit the old freehub, I hear you cry? Well, I would, but I threw it when I removed it. The obvious thing to have done would have waited until I got the new one in the post, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
