If you buy those wheels , a future "upgrade" will be buying a new rear hub.
Don't say I didn't warn you....... :)

Don't throw it out!!! :shock: :shock:

Yes, buying spare parts is difficult and pricey, so don't buy them.
Buy a new hub instead. It's cheaper to take all the bits out and keep them as spares. You can sell the QR as well.

The hubs came as part of a complete bike.
Sold the freehub for good money though.....was the old model with non oversized axle.
