Alienation Venus Planetary Freecoaster Nabe / Hub Polished

The hub’s performance depends on the right amount of friction, provided by the O-ring rubbing on the metal spacer.

1. Always keep the cone nuts tight.
2. If the cassette sound is very quiet – the clutch needs cleaning (not enough friction) or the O-ring needs replacement.
3. Don’t add/insert any grease or lube into the internals, unless absolutely required at the pawl.
4. If the hub makes a squeaking sound, there is too much friction and the clutch needs to be lubricated with a dab of dry lube.
5. Upon reassembly check axle point where clutch makes contact so it’s free of any lubricant.

Removal – Tap the axle through using a rubber mallet from the driver’s side so that the axle comes out from the non-drive side.
