Hi, I have a new Fireeye RS-10 hub. Its my first singlespeed set up. It's ghost pedaling when I'm just pushing the bike along or when it's upside down. It's not noticeable when riding the bike. I'm just wondering is it normal?

Sweet, less pedaling that u have to do!
But seriously the hub may just need a little break in or possibly it's catching on something.

A clean single speed setup will ghost pedal really easy. There's just no friction to flip the pawls. It won't make any difference when your riding.

That's cool just as longs as theres nothing wrong. I just like to hear the clickyness when I'm not on the bike. I took off the cog and the freehub seems to be moving smooth so I was just making sure.
