About a year ago had the rear bearings replaced in a Mavic Ksyrium wheel. When I got it back, it did not freewheel as well. When I put it on the repair stand and let it freewheel, they're stiff enough to make the crank move. When I stop the crank, it slows the wheel considerably. Anyone have any wisdom about this?

Thanks in advance

sounds like your free hub body needs an over haul. usually a simple repair for about $20 at your lbs. I always hit up the Mavic tent at the cx races and they do it in about 10-15 minutes for free.

yes, freehub needs a rebuild or replacement.

Thanks for the response. The funny thing is that I didn't have a problem before I took it in to the LBS to have the other work done. In any case, I'll have the other work done. Thanks again.
