Hi.
Strange "problem" which hopefully one of you experts can solve .
I have a new-ish bike (about a month old) with Shimano Deore rear hub. I noticed today while cleaning my chain that there's no longer a "clicking" sound when I turn the pedals backwards. Indexing is fine, shifting is smooth and on a couple steep climbs this morning I didn't notice anything strange....my question is, could the ratchet mechanism on the hub have broken? If so how important is it? Do I need to replace the hub or can I carry on riding with it as-is?
Thanks in advance
Terry
