So I posted here before saying my rear wheel hub gotten hard to pedal backwards after a night out at the park, people said it was my chain just being too tight cause the grinds moved my wheel. But no I took the wheel off and the hub’s driver was very tight to spin. It still rides good but im just concerned of how long coasting will last now.
In this video you can see that the pedals move as I walk the bike, mind you that it wasn’t doing this before. My guess is that the impact must’ve tightened the drive side nut, making it tighter to spin. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hub shell looks not suuper chunky so im going to assume its a cassette? You check to see if your cone nuts arent destroyed? your driver bearing could have moved snd started binding into the hub shell, causing everyhing to turn together.
Strip your hub down, check for wear. Check your bearings, and see if the inner bearing races have up/down, left/right play. Lube lube lube. Just be careful if theres any bushing or clutch playes as these are usually more sensitive to oils or wear.
