Shimano Freehub replacement

[MrW]

:facepalm:

The latest project is costing me a fortune!

Removed the free hub from a Shimano RX100 hub

Velobase suggests the part number is FH-A550

It's 22 years old, hasn't been very well looked after and despite my efforts it still sounds like a bag of spanners when it spins, so I guess I need to bite the bullet (again)

It's a 7 speed

Does anyone know of the correct (new) part that I need?

I found this online:

Thanks in anticipation

Any 7 speed freehub body should fit. But the one you have in the link will be fine.

Thank you

New freebub arrived this morning and I'm pleased to confirm that all is well!

Appears that the old free hub is a crossover one which had threads for both uniglide and hyper glide cassette's, which explains why I couldn't source an exact replacement

Was also nice to confirm that the old one does indeed sound like a bag of spanners compared to the nice new one!
