I have been chasing a noise on my bike recently, I couldn't tell if it was from the motor or the cassette but it was a horrible grinding scraping noise, I put my bike in for a service to see If they could find anything and they advised the noise could be due to the rear cassette being worn so I told them to just carry out the service and I would sort out a new cassette.
Anyway I took the cassette off today and I think I have found the problem, There was a lot of movement on the hub moving in and out and broken pieces of aluminium fell out from the Hope hubs, The wheels are only a year old so Im a bit disappointed they could fail after a year, I can't think of anything I have done that could have caused this as it's not a part I strip down but I suppose it's something I will never know.
I have now put the cassette on my old wheel and the cassette seems fine though I have got a new one on its way so I'll change it when it arrives
