I am looking at getting a new freehub, but the one on ChainReactionCycles says it fits FTS-L only the one on my wheel is FTS-X i have had a look on the mavic website and it only has the FTS-X, so i cant find if there in any difrence.

I cant find a FTS-X for sale on line :'(

Will the FTS-L work the same or where can i get a FTS-X one from?

Have a search on MTBR, there was an thread about compatability of free hubs on there.

I have no account for MTBR 🙁 so it wont let me search for the FTS-X or FTS-L

I have registered, but it still wont let me look :'( untill my account get activated…

🙂

Any one any ideas

Contact Chikven cycles, they are the distributors and should advise.

what year are your hubs? if they are the ITS4 type then those will not work with the older / lower end models

nasher – they are the 2009 Crossmax SL. I have ordered a now bush of ebay. but if that dont work i will contact Chiken cycles

Cheers

The FTS-L (M40591) wont fit

the FTS-X (M40580) is the one you need for Crossmax SL wheels, not listed on the CRC site however.

(Chickens haven't distributed for about a year and a half now)

I have a set of the SL's, has freehub gone already?

I heard they were far more robust than those of old!

Zulu 11 – Has chicken stopped distributing since the fire? who distributes mavic now?

I have contacted CRC and they dont have any and dont think they will be getting any :'(

What am i going to do cos the wheels are ace. And i dont want to bin them cos of a £40 part :'(

Nezbo, any dealer will be able to order one in, try your LBS – the world doesnt stop at the CRC warehouse door 😀

Nasher – Mavic distribute direct to trade since Sept 09, offices in Surrey.

The LBS around my is CRAP and i dont think halfords would order one for me 🙁

so i need to find one online really…

I will need to find another LBS, maybe leisure lakes in bury may help (it is about 25mi away though 🙁

I thought if they distributed direct to trade their prices would have been much cheaper!!!

They are now more expensive!

I think the less cynical person would point you towards what's happened to the pound versus the Euro there Nasher 😉

Everyones prices have gone up granted because of the Euro, however if you are cutting out the middle man then they should be cheaper.

anyway, its the cycle trade they can charge whatever!!

Pedalon have ordered from france, so they should have some in stock within the next couple of weeks 🙂
