Shimano XT hub skipping

07-19-2008, 04:44 AM

Why does my Shimano XT hub skip one time (or click) when pedaling either hard or easy without the slipping of the chain to the cog? Could it be that I need a new freehub body or new rear hub?
Thank you,
Dan

Hi Dan,
It sounds like the freehub body may need replacing:

Ask your local shop, maybe they can flush and lube it for you (might cost the same as the part itself).
Let me know how it goes...
