My chain snapped on the way to work this morning, and it was noticeable how much easier it was to push the bike without a chain than it is to push it with the chain.
There was no weight saving, as I put the chain on the rear rack - the only difference was the freehub/freewheel/bit that means you don't have to pedal wasn't engaged and ticking away. Is this normal, or does it suggest some sort of servicing might be appropriate? It's a cheapo hub, and I have felt a bit of roughness under load which I think is the hub over the past month or so.
Thanks.
