seeing you work on that freehub reminded me of a weekend away with my cycling club years ago. we rode from Swansea to Aberystwyth on the Saturday, and when nearly there one of the boys freewheels (the old screw-in type) started to seize up and act like a fixed wheel. He foolishly left it overnight rather than seeking out a LBS and the following morning it had seized solid - not ideal for a very hilly ride back home! He thought he'd take the back wheel off to try some sort of fix, and as he did the freewheel just fell to bits and came off with it, with springs and pawls pinging out all over the place! Result - one useless back wheel and a ride home in the support van! great video as always 🙂

Recently got an old GT Outpost MTB (from mid-90s) want to make it a winter/snow commuting bike with dynamo lighting and Conti Winter Tyres (also already got a 1" threaded steerer tube to 1 1/8" ahead shaft adapter and adjustable stem with 31.8mm clamping and a 50mm Riser 780mm wide handlebar and replaced the front cantilever brake with a hydraulic Magura) and it's got a 3x6 with such freewheel, it runs but I heard these cassettes are also rather tightening/seizing over time, when it's worn (rim braking surface seems to have some good wear) I'd rather get a new wheel with HG freehub and also some new shifting because it seems there are no 6 speed HG cassettes and a full 10/11 speed groupset isn't terribly expensive around 100€ for Deore M5100 shifter, rear derailleur, cassette and chain, just need an additional crankset/chainring for around 50 bucks (and the Shimano Cues even have a 1x for square tapered bottom bracket, so I don't need to replace it with some Hollowtech).

When you pressed the two bearings together into the free hub body, your drift was on the inner race instead of the outer race. It’s best to always press bearings in on the outer race if the press fit is on the outer race and vice versa if the bearing is pressed onto a shaft (I.e. on the inner race)

Your videos are always food for thought! My old wheels were cup and cone Shimano HG. Now with touring wheels with heavy duty hubs and obviously full contact sealed bearings and very heavy grease used, I have something to compare with. As soon as the very smooth bearings spin much longer, confirmed with turning the axle by hand I should leave them alone. The freehub sound is so different, these are not the old Shimano HG freehubs. Not knowing the brand Seido Magnon hubs other than Bombtrack, I wouldn't know bearing sizes until apart. I'm keeping the stock Topstone wheels around in case of problems. I could do all this at home in that case. So far, extremely pleased.

There is more sideways tension on a 1x than there is on a 2x just because the chain has to travel up an down the cassette while remaining on just one chainring at the front, instead of having two chainrings meaning less of an angle as you use the low gears while on the small chainring and the high gears while on the big chainring.

So this hub originaly had to cos a fortune for the owner to prefer new hub and redoing the wheel over bearing replacing. In Poland - a good enough hub + re- wiring cost would be for about 500 PLN.
