CLEANING AND CHECKING ALL PARTS
1. Thoroughly clean all parts of the hub. The existing grease must be completely removed from the hub
body and from the ratchets.
2. Check the ratchets for wear.
The wear of the ratchets usually starts at the outer
circumference and shows itself by strongly flattened
edges with uneven wear.
In case of heavy wear, the ratchets must be changed
immediately.
3. Check the freewheel body for damages.
→ Grooves from the cassette are no damages. These are normal signs of usage.
4. Remove bad notches on the freewheel body using a file.
5. Clean the freewheel body. Metal chips and metal particles must be removed completely.
