Novatech hubs help

It's always the smallest issues that make the most noise.

 

It's a real art to keep an entire bike squeak free

And its the greatest pleasure to ride a bike that is silent

I have similar hubs and from brand new, just fitted to bike, they started squeaking...

 

Took apart, greased, lubed, sprayed... still squeaking.

 

Then my dad walks in and says, "use a bit less pressure on the axle, it's too tight."

 

My thoughts were, meh! Never!!! So I ease off a bit of pressure and boom, squeaks all gone. It seems that I tend to tighten things too much

 

 

Not sure if this will help you, but its an option to explore.

Problem solved with new bearings.

 

 

Hopefully this will turn into a thread where novatech issues get resolved
