I'm getting chain sag / suck when I stop pedaling or pedal backwards, makes a right mess of the chainstay.
Off the bike and gently turning the pedals backwards I can get the wheel to turn (occasionally).
The bikes less than year old but I did a very wet (biblical) ride and despite de-greasing / rel-lubing, its maybe still cacked up? Its also stored next to a radiator if that could make any difference?
Any thoughts much appreciated!
Fulcrum with a Shimano cassette.
That'd be more a problem if 'back pedalling' but it's always a good idea to check em.Check your jockey wheels on your rear mech aren't bunged up with road gunk.
A sticky freewheel is typically an indication that your freewheel bearings are playing up. You can confirm this by testing it in your hands.I'm getting chain sag / suck when I stop pedaling or pedal backwards, makes a right mess of the chainstay.

Also had the "Mavic Growl" on my Askiums. Took the freehub off, cleaned it and applied light oil and it solved the problem.Cant remember the Fulcrum set up but if it is like Mavic the pawls can stick open causing the pedals to keep turning when free wheeling , you would need to give it a service , maybe fit new springs to the pawls if they are knackered .
