Which freehub for shimano 105 11 speed road bike

[miklos]

Hi

I am unsure of which freehub is compatible with this bike -> BTWIN 700af, with the factory fitted BTWIN wheels
Could anyone recommend one ?

Thanks

Are you replacing the freehub on the hub or the cassette. If it's the freehub, you are best asking Decathlon if they have spares, as they are a generic wheel and may or may not have spares. Your best option might be to remove and service the freehub.

For example, my MTB has some Formula hubs, really easy to pull apart. The freehub has two cartridge bearings in it, and it's easy to pop them out to replace. The ratchet mechanism is easy to clean and replace. I wouldn't know where to get a replacement freehub as the wheels are about 5 years old.

probably only decathlon can tell you what freehub is compatible, unless you can tell from removing the existing freehub and having a look.

Is it defo the freehub that is goosed and not the wheel bearings?

or perfect excuse for a new set of wheels 5 years isnt a bad shift for in house stock wheels

Replacing the freehub, checked the decathlon website and they don't have any freehubs available for sale

Yep the freehub is goosed - the cassete is loose on the freehub body (which is pitted with corrosion) - it's the bike I use for commuting to work

Out of interest what would I expect to pay for a pair of wheels - looking at the cheaper end of the market

You really can't go wrong with Shimano hubs for commuting, the fact they are loose bearings and you can properly adjust the preload and regrease and service easily makes them perfect.
