Hi
About 4 months ago , I replaced my rear wheel on my Ridgeback cyclone as it was buckled. Something hasnt been quite right with the new wheel so I bought the tools and removed the cassette to have a look at the free hub. It was loose, it moves up and down slightly. I removed the axle and bearing and there was no grease and lots of corrosion on the drive side bearings. I not done this before , this is not normal is it?
I tried to tighten the freehub but a 10mm hex does not fit. I belive it is an 11mm hex as 12 was too big. I have a spare hub on my old buckled wheel . I believe this is fixed with a standard 10mm hex, although I havent removed it yet. Will thus freehub fit on my new wheel. Surely the freehub should last longer than 4 months, would I be entitled to a refund/replacement on my new wheel
Thanks
