The freehub goes in fine now, thanks so much for all of your help.
The odd thing is, it spins round very smoothly, but will occasionally kind of catch, the axle will start to want to move with the hub, as if the bearings lock up inside. It spins for a long time fine, but occasionally just gets very rough briefly.
I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight into this?
It seems odd to me as the axle has no play, and is definitely not too tight, the ball bearings I'm positive are sitting smoothly inside the hub, the bearings are also new with plenty of grease.
Thank you kindly for your help everyone.
