Rear Freehub

Posts: 188
I've just taken the rear wheel off my Saracen Raw 2 and noticed that the skewer was slightly bent. On closer inspection of the wheel the freehub looked off center so I decided to remove it whereupon it sheared off! This took almost no pressure from me so I think this was a lucky thing.
However, I now need a new freehub and am not sure what I should get or if there's anything that I need to look out for. Anyone got any advice/links?
I've looked on wiggle but want to make sure I am getting the right component for the bike.

what is the hub? best take it to your LBS as they will get the correct one. also do you have the tools? it also sounds like you will need a new axel and possibly new bearings.

The freehub bolts on with a 10mm bolt usually. Are all the threads ok in your hub?

Does that mean putting all the spokes back through the hub and centering the wheel? Sounds like a job for service...

Ahh you mean just put on a new freewheel body on the hub? Can those be bought separately anyway?

Basically, I tried to remove/undo the section that the skewer goes through. As I undid it it snapped. It looks a bit like this:

but the bit I snapped is between what I think is the outer of the hub and the skewer. Hope I've made sense?

That link has confused me! Are you sure its not just the axle that has snapped?
