anybody know what the hub is on the standard ritchey wcs wheels found on the boardman pro, i bought a new cassette to change too, but i thought when fitting it, it would be a gud idea to strip the lockring threads :oops: :cry: now, i have been told i dont need a new hub but can instead just get hold of a new freehub :) , any thoughts on this (yes i am a pillock)

    That's something I don't think I've ever come close to doing.

    If Shimano then any Shimano one will do.

    It's prob a 475 or a 525 - a deore would suit the bill s only about a 15 quid mistake, or see if there's a cheap full rear hub and swap and keep the rest for any other errors!

    Also, check it's not just the lockring you've bust.

    If just replacing the freehib body then be aware -There are different freehub body fitings. You need to get the right one.

    I think they're Formula hubs, I remember seeing the name when I took mine apart on my Boardman HT Pro.
