In this video I’m going to show you how to permanently fix the play in a Mavic freehub in a couple of easy steps.
I bought a second-hand set of Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels for my Cannondale Scalpel. Even with a new original chain and cassette the chain kept slipping on the biggest sprocket.
As it turned out the rear wheel was dealing with a very common issue caused by one of the biggest design flaws in bicycle components; play caused by the worn nylon bushing in Mavic freehub bodies. I could visibly move the cassette about 2mm on the Mavic freehub.
To remedy this issue I’m going to remove the Mavic freehub and replace the nylon bushing with a aluminum adapter holding a ceramic sealed bearing. Not only will this remove the play, but it’ll also ensure the play will never again return.
