Freewheel/cassette completely separated from the wheel, bearings and lock ring fell o
Hi, looking for any ideas on what this might be as it's a new bike and I had similar issues, so I might want to learn to do this maintenance or get it serviced under warranty....
Just about 5 months ago I bought a new Trek Fx1 Disc bike.
It did well on about 500 miles so far except yesterday when I suddenly heard/felt the rear wheel/freewheel wobbling really bad while I was cycling.
I immediately stopped off the bike and removed the rear wheel from the frame and the ball bearings fell out along with the lock ring seal that contained them inside...
Is this something that's broken on the bike (and worth claiming warranty) or just needs some fixing?
Thank you !
