Direto X freehub skipping?
Posted: Fri May 02, 2025 7:32 pm
Something strange is happening with my Direto X. It used to skip only rarely but now it does it all the time like a few times a minute. Even under light load.
I assume it's the freehub but I checked the pawls and they look fine. No damage. It's definitely not the chain or the cassette gears.
The freehub is a bit wobbly because of some wear on the driveshaft but it's not bad; maybe 2-3 mm of play on the cassette.
I wonder if it's something inside the trainer that's skipping but it's a belt system, right? so it can't be skipping.
Maybe I just need to try a new freehub.
Anyone with a similar problem?
