For info - my bike's a 92 orange clockwork with shimano rear hub... (original I think).
Other day I noticed some slight roughness/grind coming from my rear wheel , so I took apart and re-greased the bearings... not sure they needed it as that's when I noticed it was the freehub that's a bit gritty sounding when turning in freewheel, which just won't do...
After a hunt round t'interweb got some mixed feedback on service / repair of freehubs... so what's the advice on here.. repair or replace?
Sounds like I'll need a couple of tools to remove the cassette and then the freehub, and some solvent based cleaner to remove the shgunk from the gubbins of th'hub...
This'll be a first for me (if I do it) so all top-tips greatly received...
Cheers
