[RBW] Does this mean I have a bad rear hub?
Could be a broken axel - this is quite common on freewheel hubs. Easy fix. IanA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

The new wheel will work with your drivetrain. You may need to adjust the indexing a smidge to line up under the new cassette. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Likely 19¢ in bearings and 3¢ of Greene along with $20 labor. Your LBS should take good care of you. If not, they'll tell you that too.

[RBW] Does this mean I have a bad rear hub?
Free*wheel* 7-speed cassette rear hub. A quiet knocking noise with weighted pedaling has started. Hub spins gravelly in the hands, and when I pinch the 36-tooth cassette cog between my thumb and index finger and wiggle, there is a tiny bit of play. Do I need a new wheel, or can this be inexpensively overhauled? *Other question is,* if I just replace the wheel with a spare wheel I have (it is an LX 8-speed shimano type freehub wheel, with a 7-speed cassette and 4.5 spacer on it), will is work with the existing indexing shimano 7-speed derailers and shifters? Dropout spacing is the same. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
