[RBW] Does this mean I have a bad rear hub?

Could be a broken axel - this is quite common on freewheel hubs. Easy fix.

The new wheel will work with your drivetrain. You may need to adjust the 
indexing a smidge to line up under the new cassette.

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.

With abandon,

[RBW] Does this mean I have a bad rear hub?

2017-07-22 Thread lum gim fong
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.
