I have a 1999 Trek 7500 hybrid. When "getting on the pedals hard" it feels as though it is slipping a lil bit. From watching YouTube and looking on the internet, would I be right to assume that the pawls inside the freehub? are broken or gummed up really bad. I have never had one of these apart so it would be a learning experience. If parts are involved, would I be just as far ahead to get another rear wheel assembly?
