With that out of the way, I found out my rear axle and skewer are bent And they were brand new a week ago! Ridden something like 30 km. Off to the lbs to get new ones, but what could have caused this?
If the freehub body was not tight enough, it could sag and bend the axle. You might not need to change the skewer, it doesn't support any weight
