Gus, you are a fountain of information, many thanks for the tech edification! Cheers, Paul L.I., NY

I can't get the jam nut off of my mini rear hub. When I go to tighten the axles from the hub to my frame the wheel doesn't spin anymore. I have the shim in place between the bearing and the driver, but still the issue persists. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you could, call our factory and ask for tech support: 727-391-7370

How do you make it loud af?!

[@thomassmith3464]

Its degreased lol any hub gets louders even if its a little bit when they are degreased

[@MrFuchew]

am i looking at a mini driver in a elite hub?

[@dmartinloc]

Looks like it doesn’t have enough pawls huh

[@MrFuchew]

@@dmartinloc it doesnt

[@ProfileRacingOfficial]

That would be a driver for a mini, however, the maintenance applies to both Mini's and Elites.

[@lloydeboi]

How come my mini driver doesn’t just slide out like yours? 🤷‍♂️

[@ProfileRacingOfficial]

When compressed over time, the grease inside the hub could have a suction effect.

@@ProfileRacingOfficial thanks for the reply. It just needed a good pull. I greased it up but now I hate how quiet it is. Was planning to degrease it. Any suggestions on how to make it loud af again without potentially damaging the hub down the track.
