Erm, nope...... but it may still happen as it's proving to be a stubborn old bugger to pull apart!

Hi do you know if there’s any spares available anywhere? Mines missing the free hub the end cap from the drive side

Definitely not from Hope, guess you'll need to get another hub and move parts over as needed

This is such a mission lol, I’ve seen your other post on doing a tear down on it would you be able to tell me what I’m missing? Had the hub as a gift in this condition years ago and would love to atleast get them running
