Hi everyone,

I’m having a bit of an issue and hope you can help.

Today, I converted my DT Swiss G1800 wheels (which have the DT Swiss 370 hub and an XDR freehub) to an N3W freehub. Previously, I was running Fulcrum Rapid Red 900 wheels with an N3W freehub.

Here is what I did:

I pulled off the XDR freehub.

I placed the spring back onto the ratchets.

I mounted the seal onto the N3W freehub body and pushed it onto the hub.

Finally, I put the end cap on.

Everything sounded fine at first; the freehub had its typical clicking sound when I tested it by hand. However, once I installed the rear wheel and tightened it, the freehub locked up—the cranks kept spinning even after I let go. The freehub only functions correctly when the thru-axle is loosened.

From my own research, I’ve gathered that something is likely getting pinched or jammed, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is the Freehub I bought

Hey folks.

I have a small problem with my smallest gear (10 tooth)

The chain is shifting smoothly to all gears. When I'm at the last one (10 tooth) the chain makes no noise like it does when the cable tension isn't right. But it seems to be that it gets pulled to the 12 tooth every now and then. It isn't with every rotation, but it happens often. I checked all screws, the tension etc.

I got some new rims this year. I bought them with a XD freehub (https://www.carl-z.de/produkt/zi30sla/)

Before I changed the rims and tires I got no problem with shifting. Chain is also new (maybe 300km, waxed chain)

The bike didn't fall on the derailleur so I'm pretty sure the derailleur Hangar isn't bent.

Maybe some of you guys had the same problem and have some easy fix for me.

Thanks
