Noisy back Hub

My back hub feels like it is slipping when I am in the small gears on the cassette (11, 13, 15). Also making a noise like a hammer hitting steel (clank-clank :eek: ) Only when I am having a go, normal peddling no problem. 

 

On top end all is well, no noise and no imagined slipping.

 

I do not have money at the moment for a new hub, so what to do.

 

HELP PLEASE.

This happened to me a few weeks ago.

 

GO and replace the freebody of the hub the immediately.

 

I rode it too long in that condition, and stripped the hub completely. Ended up having to get an entire new hubset.

Sounds like a new chain on an old cassette. 

 

Something is worn and not meshing so lekker.

 

Anything been replaced recently?

 

New 10 speed chain and cassette

Freebody? Do you need to replace by brand?

Yeah...

 

Your hub body is probably toast.

 

take it to your LBS and see if they can save it before it gets worse.

 

there might be a Pawl or 2 that arent engaging

All depends on the model too, 

 

Some use a internal ratchet, others a 3 pawl system.

 

if only they could make headsets, freehubs, BB's and hangars universal!!
