replacing a freehub body

mt_biker said:

I've got a bad freehub body on an XTR hub. It grinds, groans, & doesn't
freewheel too good. I've tried cleaning and re-lubing, as per the Park
website, to no avail.

I want to replace it without replacing the entire hub. Does anyone
sell just the freehub?

The "Freehub" is the entire hub. The part you want is called a "Freehub
body."

The actual XTR bodies are ludicrously expensive, but you can substitute
a more reasonably priced body with no difficulty.

You might be better off buying a used hub that still has a good cassette
body and then swapping them out.

Thanks. I said it right the first time & munged it the second. That's .500. In the majors, I'd be an all star!

So, $130 for the body & $165 for the whole thing? That must mean the hub without the body is $35. I'll take 10.

Looks like I'll be stealing one off an old wheel.

Thanks for the info.
