do I need a new freehub or can I rasp/sand the ridges flat and wind it up tiiiiiight and hope for the best, and if so will i go through chains/cassettes like the proverbial? Don't really want to spend £50 on a new freehub body from Kinetic (think it's a formula 10sp, can I get one elsewhere?

cheers

Clean it up with a file and whack it back together. It’ll happen again but then a new freehub body in the same material would just do it again too.

thanks @M_V

that's exactly what I did. Literally 2 mins has reduced the burrs to probably <.5mm so i'll wind it up tight and hope I don't have to do it again for a while.

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

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

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
