In either case, it's likely cheaper and easier to just get a new one as other people are suggesting. You could rebuild it especially if it's just bearings, but might be above your skill level and budget if it's the pawls. | |

| Jun 6, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | Atmos.Grey | Sorry for commenting so late. Just flipped the Hub and got 2 Hours of Fixed in ;) I'm almost dead. I dripped some oil in, it moved a bit but made horrible noises. I think the bearings are just completely trashed. Im just gonna buy a new one. Dont want to risk a accident as i ride a lot on the street.. Thanks for the Tips! | |
