I have a set of 04 Mavic Crossmax XL and I basically don't know much about wheels/hubs. However I do most of my maintenance myself usually with the manufacturer instructions or help I get from the forums.
Last night I was cleaning up my rear derailleur and chain when I realized something strange. When I back pedalled, the rear wheel was moving. Normally I think a rear weel would stay still and you would just ear the clicks of the hub but now it was moving slowly as well as the usual clicks.
Could it be some crap in the hubs or freewheel? I took off the chain, the cassette and re-tightened, everything seemed normal.
Those wheels are new, I've done maybe 10-15 rides on them this season and only one where there was some mud. I'm not 100% sure if this symptom was always there or if it just started.
Thanks for your help.
