I bought some wheels with 10 speed mtb hubs, so I replaced the hubs with an 11speed road Freehub.
It worked well for 50-60km in the alps til no more!
Now pedalling by hand makes the Freehub engage properly, but under proper pedalling load the Freehub completely slips.
I’ve tried cleaning them out and regreasing with the DT Swiss grease but it’s just not engaging properly. I did try and blow all the grease out with compressed air but it still doesn’t engage under load.
The Freehub just doesn’t sit closely enough the the hub body.
Any ideas?
