Bit of a weird issue with my sp pD-8 hub today...
I felt a bit of a vibration, thought that maybe something was stuck between the tyre and the front mu guard. when I pulled over to check it out I realised that my front light cable (that's insulation taped to my front rack) had started pulling itself free and wrapping around the hub axle.
On closer inspection, it seems as if the part of the hub that the wires connects to isn't spinning freely anymore, really notchy and enough resistance to pull the cable from it's tape. Notchy enough that I could feel it through the bars when riding.
The hub bearings themselves are spinning fine, the hub has covered less than a thousand miles since I had it.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
