Ye mate i put them in the box and fitted a seperate driver  ;) i can buy a profile titanium driver to fit it, in 9 tooth form, but at £78  ??? i think its the ring gear inside as there not a lot depth to the teeth :-\

ok, there was an article in ride about cassete hubs and lubing them up...i think when they are packed with grease there is the benefit of a quiet freewheel click but the minus side is that the pawls dont somtimes release, resulting in them skipping a notch every now and then.
im sure the recomendation in ride was to use a thin grease rather than oil, ie marine grease, which i know is fairly runny, as i used to have to use it on my jetski prop shaft....good luck

Here's an update

Well but some oil in and made no diffrence still a piece of sh*t click ,crunch etc etc

DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE HUBS or you'll be throwing your money away as i have asked about and the majority do crunch and click with only the odd few not  :-\
