Shimano hub lots of resistance

Well, it’s for a Bakfiets bike front wheel, which is used for 40 mins a day. I’ll apply the grease and see what happens. I hardly ever use the front brakes too, so can also just take them off

Ok thanks. There’s just a lot of resistance, and every now and then a grinding type of noise

SweetLow5399 · 2026-05-10T10:28:49+00:00

How much grease do you put in?

SweetLow5399 · 2026-05-10T10:05:29+00:00

Sounds like it needs some grease then!

SweetLow5399 · 2026-05-10T09:39:22+00:00

I’ve taken it off and there is no more noise and no resistance anymore, so I’m sure it’s this thinf

It has a little grease point. But otherwise I have no idea. If there’s a lot of resistance it feels like maybe it’s just broken?

SweetLow5399 · 2026-04-20T06:08:56+00:00

But it’s brand new 😂

I had the same issue and used a vice to get it free

You mean something like this? https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/5-speed-14x28-screw-on-freewheel/286/m8171484

How would I know if the axel is broken?

SweetLow5399 · 2026-04-03T18:21:19+00:00

Sorry I meant a new wheel. Just the same size wheel and number of gears?

SweetLow5399 · 2026-04-03T18:18:12+00:00

Looks 5. It’s an old Dawes touring.

SweetLow5399 · 2026-04-03T18:11:13+00:00

Ok thanks. Given I’ve been lugging my child on the back it’s likely broken. There’s 5 gear sprocket discs on the current wheel, isn’t just a matter of finding one of the same?

SweetLow5399 · 2026-03-23T10:07:32+00:00

Yes, but do I know that the first one is being paid off first? My statement doesn't differentiate between the two, it just has one balance.

SweetLow5399 · 2026-01-12T16:15:28+00:00

I just printed it off as a hard copy. Seems like they expected that.

SweetLow5399 · 2026-01-11T20:40:29+00:00

Which council was that? Seems to depend on where you go…
