Planetx carbon 50 wheels and freehub body

Does anyone know of an alternative supplier of Planetx carbon 50 freehub bodies? I have been playing email tennis for a week and am about to lose it with them.

How do I add an image?

Upload your pic to a web hosting service (Flickr, Dropbox, Imgur etc). Once there right click the image and select "copy image address"

Open a posting dialogue box and select the "Img" tab from the strap line at the top. This will produce a set of brackets in the dialogue box like this [img][/img]

What is wrong with the freehub?

Was about to ask the same thing..

Alternatively, just rebuild the rim onto a new hub. That's what I did.

It's a Chosen freehub... hard to source, but not impossible

It makes a horrible clacking noise under pressure, the corners of the pawls are slightly rounded and I think are slipping. Cleaning and regreasing helped but didn't cure it. I have put new bearings in too.

The pawls do look a bit distressed. I was going to suggest new bearings in the freehub but if you’ve already replaced them then .....

If you look closely there is clearance around the pawl pivots wich I suspect allows them to move slightly.
