STX Rear Hub Question

[WD Pro]

What cassettes (i.e. 7, 8, 9 speed etc) fit on a STX rear hub ?

I cant check at the moment as the wheels are at home so any input appreciated but if it helps the hub code looks the be M ? 32 – it’s the best I can make out from the picture.

Cheers,

WD

I would have thought 7 speed by default, although it should be possible to fit a wider freehub body on, with a bit of fettling.

STX was part of a 7 speed and then later 8 speed groupset iirc, so it could be either. the exact M number would tell for sure.

does the free hub pull off on these ? i was going to replace one of my stx hubs as i was'nt sure :?

OK, thanks for the input so far - will check the code tonight

Isn't it just like the other hubs - the freehub can be removed using a big allen key (10mm?).

em ? i'll check , brb............

yup , oh well it'll save me re hubbing/spoking the wheel

cheers fella


for some reason i thought the stx did'nt unbolt ????

I think STX hubs will take 7 speed and may take 8 speed cassettes without any problems.
The freehub body can be removed by taking off the locknut and cones fom one side, sliding out the axle and then undoing the large hollow bolt within the freehub with a 10mm allen key.

It does unbolt! It looks identical to a 7s one i have on my tandem.
