I bought a Venus hub. It wouldn't engage straight from the factory. I both degreased the clutch and replaced the o-ring, and tightened both cone nuts to the point they’re almost stuck, but nothing has ever worked. When I’m standing physically on the bike, the hub is not engaging. Otherwise, it’s doing it, but without any weight on the bike. So I had to buy another hub and chose a Shadow freecoaster on sale on The Source, and it's working flawlessly

There might be a faulty part, do you still have the hub?
