I bought a Trek 5.2 mADONE (2008) in Sept and it has been hung up for 2 months in the garage due to weather as I have used my training bike.
Took the Trek out last weekend and the freehub was stuck so I couldn't free wheel backwards etc.
Took it to a friend (who is a mechanic at LBS locally) and he looked at it and said the bearings had got muck or abrased and he had re-lubed it for me.
Now it is ok now and free at the moment and it appears to have solved it. But he did say that once they get a bit of dirt in, it won't get better etc.
The bike is 6 months old only and the wheel are Bontrager Race Lights.
Should I be taking this back on warranty?
Is this really unusual please?
