cartridge
however the freehub has a bush inboard which when worn will effectively 'write off' your rear wheel

SOOB - Is that bush non-replaceable? I just bought replacement bearings but that sounds like a real PITA

far as im aware it requires a new freehub, which aint cheap.
after two bearing replacements, the second of which i am convinced was neither required or even beneficial and several 'clean outs' i have condemed the rear wheel to an emergency spare. I wouldnt sell it on even though it would be apparently fine for a couple of weeks use.
front wheel was fine, used for over two years and 100% maintenance free.

There's some dude in America who makes aftermarket replacement bushes. Much much cheaper than a whole freehub and I think he does oil seals for the same. Not sure what his contact details are but I'm pretty sure he trades on ebay.
