How much drag is normal on Mavic hubs? When I spin the pedals backwards when the bike is on the work stand the gears seem to want to shift, and when I'm coasting at high speed (like at the bottom of a hill) even the slightest backwards pedal motion feels like the chain is about to fall off.
I took it to the shop but they were like "nah that's normal", and when I asked Canyon they said it sounded totally normal too. But my old bike doesn't do that on the not very fancy stock generic factory wheels and I've had a good 7-10 previous bikes that didn't do this (none of them had Mavic).
I know Aksiums aren't high end but this seems a little too shitty even by my low standards, I'm thinking about just buying a different wheelset and chucking these in the trash.
Or am I going about this all wrong? Is this such a big upgrade that I'm not appreciating it? inb4 "why would you pedal backwards", I've always done it, it's never been a problem on any bike except this one.
