Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Recently bought a NOS Ringle super bubba rear hub and just got it back on Sat from the local bike shop all built up.
Maybe I'm worrying about nothing but it seems that the freehub body spins freely but when I put it in the frame and tightened up the skewer, the freehub body no longer spins freely. It still turns, but its noticeably tighter and you can feel some resistance when you turn it backwards.
Also if you hold the freehub body and spin the wheel, it slows down really quickly, almost as if its dragging. Is this normal?
Unfortunately, I don't have the funds until Friday to buy the cassette and gear cables to complete the build and see if its going to be ok. I'm just worried that I'm maybe missing a spacer or washer or something and don't want to damage the hub.
Am I worrying about nothing, or does the freehub body tighten when fitted to the frame? I thought the frame would only press on the axle, not put pressure on the freehub body. Or maybe because its a new hub, it'll free up with a bit of use?
