Had the Squeal of Death on my Kysriums last week. Checked and found that the bushing had worn on the free hub.

Came across this HubDoctor, but it is quite expensive for what it is. Anybody tried one and know if they are effective and durable?

Yes effective, yes durable, yes expensive. Just take apart regularly, oil with a automotive synthetic OIL(doesn't get thick when cold) and ride.

Now bought and fitted. Not ridden yet. Bizarrely there is more cassette wobble now than there was before.
