Hi all,
I'm finally a member on here after lurking in the background for many years.
I've got a pair of Easton EA70XC wheels on my Kona Kula Watt. I know the freehubs on these wheels were notoriously rubbish and yes, mine is shot.
I also know (from research on here) that Easton stopped making replacement freehubs for these wheels. True to form they aren't a standard sort of fit either (male splined fitting into the hub with a 12mm allen bolt)
I've done some searching around and notice that both Joytech (used by specialized) and Raleigh freehubs look very similar. I was wondering whether anyone on here has had success fitting a different freehub to the Easton hubs?
Failing that, does anyone have either a Joytech or Raleigh freehub (10sp) that they would be willing to measure up so I can check that the O/D of the small male splined section and spline sizes match my freehub?
If not i'll resort to plan B and phone up a few shops armed with vernier calipers to check the spline sizes.
this is what the freehub looks like

Many thanks,

The hub is an Easton one.
The freehub looks exactly like the one in the picture.
Someone else has had similar problems
