About a 1/4 into the ride, my cassette body started slipping when I'd really stand on it. Gradually it got worse, until eventually it wouldn't engage at all, and I had to walk the last 2 km like a chump. I figure either there is some moisture in there that is freezing, or the grease itself is becoming so thick that the prawls can't engage. Anyone else have this problem? As soon as I warm it up, it works fine. I'm thinking of removing the CB and dunking the whole thing in used motor oil for a few minutes, then reinstalling it. What do you guys think?
