After doing my normal chain degreasing and lubrication this morning, I took my bike for a quick spin around the block and heard a "crunch" like noise coming from the rear of the bike. I got off the bike, lifted it up, and gave the rear wheel a spin. It appears as though the "crunch" like noise is coming from inside the rear hub.
I assume that this means my rear hub needs to be repacked with new grease?
The bike in question is a '04 Specialized HardRock Sport that is ridden occasionally. I've probably ridden it less than 1000 miles total since I bought it.
Any tips/suggestions on correcting this problem are greatly appreciated. I'm new to bicycle repair.
Thanks in advance!
