The way to get the click back would be to pull the freehub apart and remove excess grease.
OK, that makes sense, thanks for the info. so they may have packed the hub with too much grease thus not allowing the ratchet mechanism to move freely? could this cause a problem for the hub or is a lot of grease a good thing?
