  1. While riding faster my bike has recently started making a grinding/ high-pitched vibration. I can typically get it to stop by slowing down or a small bunny hop. I think it may be the bearings in the freehub.

    The bike is a 2008 Cannondale Synapse with Mavic Aksium Race wheelset. How do I determine what bearings are required? Their available documentation is crappy and I have never done this before.

  2. Plastic-Gift5078 on

    I suspect it has more to do with the headset rather than the front hub bearings.

  3. if you go on Mavic website [https://technicalmanual.mavic.com/tech-mavic/technical_manual/data/mavic_tech.php?&fil=2&co=US](https://technicalmanual.mavic.com/tech-mavic/technical_manual/data/mavic_tech.php?&fil=2&co=US) you can see the reference manual for 2008

    from page 3 I see the bearings seems to be M40318, with a web search I find results like this: [https://www.bike24.com/p2135928.html](https://www.bike24.com/p2135928.html)
