On Training Wheels
My New departure model d started slipping for lack of a better term. I would be pedaling forward and then I would feel the hub "let go" for like a quarter turn.
I figured i should open it up, clean it and grease it.
I followed this guys video instructions
Pretty straight forward.
So now I got it back on the bike and its acting weird.
First while still on the bench and turning the crank by hand I noticed the hub was noisy. Like a slight grind or click kind of sound. I loosed up the wheel bearing, but had to make it uncomfortably loose to stop the noise.
I took it for a ride and noticed right away that after coasting, when I would go to start pedaling again there is no resistance for maybe 1/2 turn of the crank.
Braking is good.
What did I do wrong?
It all looked good when I had it apart for cleaning. Pretty sure I put it back together right.
