Sticky Mavic Freehub Repair/Service || COMPLETE Tutorial

This video will show you how to repair a Mavic rear wheel that won't freewheel properly. The issue is commonly found in the freehub body, when the oil that is supposed to lubricate the pawls and teeth dries up. This process is simple and straightforward, while only requiring a few basic tools and supplies.

I've had to do this to my Ksyrium SLS wheels. Surprisingly its a very easy job. I use drugstore mineral oil.

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

Annoying that it has to be done, but it's definitely a straightforward job!

[@brianstranyak1049]

@@UmunhumCycleworksI agree, this should not be needed, but easy yes. Shimano hubs I never had the issue.

[@billkallas1762]

I never had a problem with my cheap Mavic wheel dragging, but I did get the dreaded Mavic squeal, one time. That was caused by dirt on that white plastic bearing surface. It started doing the squeal after I had around 30,000 miles on the wheel. I've put on another 30,000 miles since cleaning and lubing, and it's still quiet. (I used a thin 3 in 1 oil)
PS. To get the freehub over the pawls, I held them down with a thread, and then removed the thread before pushing the freehub all the way onto the hub.

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

Mavic wheels are pretty great, they just require a bit of maintenance! That's a great tip on the pawls - I'll have to try that next time.

Hello . You can use oil from a diesel car engine. ? Will this oil solve this problem?

[@UmunhumCycleworks]

No, that is way too thick. A small bottle of Shimano mineral oil is just a few bucks.

[@AzShooter]

​@@UmunhumCycleworksThank you. I did everything as you showed in the video, now everything works correctly.

[@jacekkolodziej4224]

Seriously, it's still bad, the problem is the Teflon ring, it needs to be replaced with a ceramic bearing and then the cassette is stiffer and works better

If no or little play in the freehub, than it's ok.
