The rear hub on my FR Zero used to be silent when free wheeling. Now if makes the same noise as my other hubs. No doubts a service required which I’m happy to do myself. Any ideas on what might be causing this before I start off?
Thanks in advance.

Bloomin’ autoconnect.

Grease dried up / displaced.

But. I had some FRZs. From new they where kinda Mavic loud, so quieter than Hope / CK but definitely not Shimano silent.

So I wouldn’t sweat it TBH.

Cheers. I’ll take off the freehub and make sure it’s all nicely lubed.

Don’t go too wild - check the manual for the recommended lube and quantity.

Thanks for the heads up. Have manual safely stored in the garage.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
