My 5 year old American Claasic 225 rear freehub failed at the weekend. Where can I find a replacement?
Can you not service it?
Yes I can - I need a new freehub as I believe the spring &/or plate are damaged - there is no engagement
I sold all my American classic hubs after the company shut down for fear of spares.
I'd heard a company purchased the rights to produce spares? Might be wrong. I'm sure someone will know

He used to sell a lot of their wheels and has a few spares (but probably more road stuff).
I might have a spare hub and some other bits. Email me on iainjagger@gmail.com I can put them in the post for you
Sounds like you need a new bike 😉
I’ve worried about this also, tcx wheelset has been faultless for 4 years of Agro xc on my ‘adventure’ bike, but,,,,, it’s going to happen.
Ive pretty much accepted its a rebuild and replace if the hubs go west. Spares are few and far and expensive if you find, such a shame,,,Without doubt the best wheelset I’ve owned ☹️
All my bikes have American Classic wheels. I was very upset when they went shut down. 🙁
Do Shimano freehubs not fit onto the hub shell?
Shimano won't work as they're all up and cone. I'm diverging onto a Hope rear wheel from AC this week in the name of replaceable parts and future compatibility.

I think when the bushings go on the Turner I'll have no choice!!
