So I broke a pawl inside my Hadley sdh 135 10.0 a couple months back. Hadley was great and sent the pawls, seals and spring. I rebuilt it and did one ride on it. Everything seemed good, but i noticed while it was apart that the bearings were gritty. They're 6 years old anyway.I decided to contact Suzanne at Hadley to get the bearing #. I found a ceramic bearing for a good price and ordered 2. The one in the cassette body I left alone. I screwed up the threads on the non drive side when I went to set the bearings in place. I chased the threads and bought the correct tool to set the "cone" that keeps pressure on the sealed bearings. I set the cone so that there's enough pressure to keep them and the spacer in between them in place. The bearings spin fine and the thread damage was minimal. I greased the bearing in the cassette body and the roller bearing too, but it seemed like too much drag. The chain would slacken while riding. I cleaned the grease out of the bearings in the cassette body and blew it out with an air compressor. I used some light oil and it seemed like there was still some friction, but not nearly as bad as previously. When I rode it, the chain would build up slack when coasting and fall in between the tire and frame still though. I disassembled it tonight and loosened the plastic cone on the drive side a little bit. The drag is gone now and the wheel spins 20 (?) Times freely. But the cranks seem like if you just touch them, they'll start to spin forward with the wheel.
In the stand the wheel spins freely with no drag.
Apart, the bearings pressed in the hub shell spin freely.
Assembled and in hand, the axle spins freely and the cassette body does too.
But while riding the chain builds up slack and falls between the chainstays and the tire. This means that when I go to pedal, I have to do half a revolution to suck up the slack from the chain. Why? What needs to be done ?
