Was cleaning my new-to-me bike last week and found the rear wheel is rough as a badgers butt.
It seems a bolt that holds the casette together has come adrift, and mangled the seal between the freehub body and the hub shell. The bearings are also cooked, but this cant be have helped
The manafacturer was able to tell me the bearing sizes before i pulled the hub appart, but the seal is not available as a spare part.
£70 for a new freehub body, to get the £2 seal replaced.
doublt annoying, id already bought the bearings
Question is, whats the liklihood of getting a freehub seal from a generic supplier? or do they have these parts manafactured per hub?
From my limited knowledge, it appears to be a double lip seal, steel core, nitrile rubber.
calipers are coming out to measure it up.
any tips or suggestions? waste of time?
