I need to replace the freehub body from a Shimano R561 wheel. Am I right in thinking this

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Shima ... 300006098/

is what I need?

The groupset on the bike is Shimano 105 10 speed which worked fine with a 1 mm spacer and gives me the option of swapping wheels with a Sora winter hack so I want to keep the 8/9/10 spd options.

Cheers
Steve
PS I am pretty sure the Shimano part ref for the old freehub is Y - 4C4 98090 but googling that does not help.

    just about all shimano Bodies are interchangable.

    so if your old one is a steel 9 spd like that then no probs.

    I replaced the freehub body on my WHR550's with one from a Tiagra 4400, although they are different part numbers

    - try CRC, who usually undercut Wiggles prices anyway http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=1161

    - but for me, turned-out to be cheaper to buy whole hub (£8-odd at the time, when the 4500 was new-out and the 4400 was old stock) than to buy freehub body, so there's another option for you...
