I believe since this is probably a technical question I'd try and post it here. I have an '06 GT Avalanche that has a Shimano M475mm hub. Whenever it gets below 32 degrees the hub doesn't engage so I can peddle. This happens after I back peddle or just coast on the bike. I have a feeling that moisture is in the hub and once the pawls or whatever they are are in their disengaged position when I'm coasting or backpeddling then they freeze there. I have never taken the hub apart to investigate because I don't have the tools for it.
Does anyone agree with this and if so how can I fix it? I have other friends that have other hubs which don't do this even when they have ridden through the same creeks, rain,etc. that I have.
All help is appreciated.
