Not sure if this video link will work, but if it does....new rear hub needed or is it a mech issue?

Wind, honking brakes, sea lion, fishing reel, hub, chain on sprockets, road buzz

You should tighten the skewer. When it breaks doing this, replace it with a nice Shimano one and restart the diagnosis.

The noise doesn't happen all the time so unlikely to be wheel bearings. Probably freehub bearings. I'd pull apart the freehub and clean/lube that shit first. If that doesn't fix it I'd look at replacing its bearings.

If you mean that wailing sound halfway through the video as you freewheel it's the mavic freehub bushing on its way out. It's a new freehub time.

Sounds like Eddie... "twice as dense as the competition and much stiffer" https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14958764/

farewell

When my Aksiums made this sound I removed the cassette and freehub, cleaned, degreased, put light oil on it and rebuilt. The sound went away.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
