Sounds like a freehub problem, I think I have a rear formula hub from a giant faith I keep as a spare wheel, any chance of a photo of the hub.

You should strip the hub down and take a look, do it in a clear area so that if anything falls you can find it and make sure to keep all of the parts safe. Hard flooring is better as carpets stain and you will not hear any small part hit the floor on carpet.

I will give you a hand if you need one!

The one I have is something similar but it's a 12mm through axle, does your hub have a silver nut with a pedal spanner fitting on the cassette side.

How do I post up photo's, I will show you my hub.
