    well you have just fubard that then. 2 month old bike should go back to the shop. for sorting.

    Bike shop 250 miles away, they said they would replace the part if i sent the old one, the thing is, is this a weak componant my question was is there another make perhaps of better quality that i could use

    if you wish to use a different mke of freehub you will need a different hub. your stuck with it untill you change wheels.
