smh_00 on May 28, 2024 3:13 pm Something is not moving freely. If I had to guess it’s one of the jockey wheels.
Netrafa on May 28, 2024 3:16 pm I had the same problem my mechanic solved it acting over the axis of the wheel in spanish the name of the piece to repair is “buje”. Most Focus is a ring into the buje that locks more than necessary the rotary movement of the piece. Have a good repair.
SnollyG on May 28, 2024 3:17 pm Maybe the freehub/freewheel needs to be cleaned and greased/lubed. Take the wheel off and spin the cassette. See if it spins freely/smoothly or if feels gritty/slow.
