help! grinding after coaster hub re-grease.
hey all, im building a bike for my son and since rims were too expensive for our budget i decided to use some rims i had on another bike but they sounded like they had no grease in them at all. so i pulled the front apart and re-greased it no issues but the rear has me stumped. all the parts sprung out at first so google came to the rescue with that. got it all back in and working. braking is good coasting is awesome but if you power then stop without going back on the pedals it sounds like the clutch is still half activated and you can feel the teeth grinding.. i have pulled it apart many times over now and i still cant seem to work it out.
its hard to describe but im hoping i just done something wrong. it spins by hand freely and by the cog freely its just when you stop powering and leave the pedals close to powering it just grinds. im happy to make a video if it helps.
