So is it a shimano fitting on the back? I want to get a new one from crc but they dont show the fitting from the back.A feather is kinky, a whole chicken is just perverse.0

it is actually of a Tiagra hub.
but what has it got to do with your hub?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

what is your hub?
All shimano Free hubs look the same (well most do)."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I have no idea what the hub is all i know is the back, where it fits to the wheel, looks like the one in that photo. Is that type of fitting shimano standard?A feather is kinky, a whole chicken is just perverse.0

then i dont think it is a shimano hub and a shimano body will not fit. (you may be lucky but i dont think you will be)
there are a lot of bodies that look like shimano that are not and are not interchangeable."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

As Nick sez
Shimano hubs - well I have never seen a Shimano hub that didn't have that fact plastered over it so if yours does not it's a generic, OEM.
Need to know that freehubs have two compatibilty issues, one is the interface with the hub and the other with the cassette so even if you have a Shimano cassette this does not mean that a standard Shimano freehub body will fit your non-Shimano (if that is the case) hub.
Thing is apart from the hassle (expense) of lacing the wheel, you are probably better off with a new hub, the bearing races don't last forever and a freehub costs what, more than half the cost of a new hub?Giant Reign X10 -
As already mentioned free hub bodies look quite similar. Have you got a bike shop/workshop near you that deals in second hand bikes, they may keep a bits they've stripped from wheels/bikes and have the one you want...
Knowing what bike you've got and whether they are the original wheels may help0 -
Well they are mavic cxp 30s with exege hubs, the freehub is a 7 speed and i was trying to get a new freehub to take 9, with all the different types of hub i was just wondering if that type was a standard shimano fitting.A feather is kinky, a whole chicken is just perverse.0

so it is a shimano hub then, dont forget to re-dish your rim and even up the axle.
any (99%) of shimano freebodies will fit other shimano hubs."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
