I feel horrifically silly asking this.
I was just rotafixing the shit out of a new sprocket onto my On-One hub, and while I was pulling it clicked loudly, which I thought was just the chain settling down on top of itself under the pressure.
Then when I took it out of the frame I noticed the axel was grinding very strongly when the wheel is turned.
It feels like very, very rough bearings.
I'm wondering if it was like this before and I just didn't notice until I'd taken it out of frame.
Any idea what's happened? The hub is less than 6 months old. I can't see it being very easy to fuck up the axel/bearings from rotafixing.
Seriously not gunna be happy if I have to buy a new hub.
