Hi all,
Got a bit of an issue with the freehub on my Cube Hybrid Reaction Pro 625 hardtail
It's only 3 months old and done 6-700 miles but yesterday I was having more and more issues with the chain jumping and my mate noticed a ton of play in the rear cassette. You can move it 3-4mm back and forth on the axle.
I was at dales bike centre so asked their shop guy to have a look and he basically said "your freehub is completely f****d, I wouldn't even ride that it's on the verge of going completely"
Quite disappointing on a 3 month old bike. I've got an email in with balfes who I bought the bike from online to see what I can do about a warranty claim but I'm keen to not be without a bike for weeks/months.
I've got the tools coming today to pull the casette and freehub body off and was going to just buy a replacement so I can get back out soon but it seems to be an absolute minefield.
My rear hub is a Shimano FH-TX505. From the exploded views I found it looks like I need part number Y31S98020.
But I can't find that part anywhere at all...
Is there really a hundred different freehub bodies? I kind of assumed I could just order a shimano HG freehub and it would fit but they seem to be unique to the hub.
I'd even buy an entire TX505 rear hub just so I could use the freehub body but I can't find them in stock anywhere either
Is there any aftermarket options or alternatives?
Thanks in advance
