    Hi all,

    bought a Cube AMS 100 pro mountain bike around 1 month ago at crc Belfast.

    2 weeks into having bought it the rear cogs would move freely backwards and forwards and it didnt have any drive so i took it in and they fixed it telling me the freehub had gone.

    Today, i take my bike out for work and whenever i am coasting downhill the top chain will go slack and the rear derailleur will spring forward, if i coast and take my wheels of the pedals, the pedals start turning like im pedalling. This is all happening with a grinding/clunking noise coming from inside the rear cogs ( free hub )

    what is happening? what needs to be replaced or repaired now?

    cheers,
    Jordan

    Sounds like the freehub is bad again. I'd be looking for a replacement wheel at this point.

    or the freehub body itself ?
