FH-RM60 to replace impossible to find FH-RM35?

[nurglespuss]

Hi guys, I've been without my bike a while now since the freehub disintegrated (probably through euther bad initial construction from Creaction or service from Halfords) but regardless, its impossible to source replacement parts, and the hubs that Creaction recommended just don't fit.

Would a Shimano FH-RM60 fit? I have no idea how close the similarly labelled models are, really no idea.

Any help appreciated!

(so to clarify - I'm ideally trying to find something I could take the freehub off to replace mine)

Why are you still asking for help when you have had your answer already Broken Shimano FH-RM35 Centerlock Disc']HERE.
You are now down about £30 that you paid for a useless hub and have spent a considerable amount of time without a bike. Either get the bike shop to order the right part for £30 or get in touch with Madiuson yourself and see if they will supply you directly as a retail customer? Your bike could have been fixed and ready to roll days ago. Sorry if I appear to be being arsy but it isn't rocket science

Madison dont have the part in stock, they 'might' have the part in stock by july 15th but aren't sure - and Madison will not supply the part to me directly.

I'm not down anything, as Halfords took back the hub that 'should' have fit (according to Chain Reaction) but did not.

I've found a single website (Bulgarian) that has the hub in stock http://screambikes.eu/en/mtb-hubs-rear/9492-shimano-fh-rm35-freehub.html but I have no idea how safe/reliable a site it is. I could get one delivered for 69.90лв which I 'think' is about £28.34

Have any of you used this site before? So unfortunately, no I don't have my answer yet!

@nurglespuss I just made sure and I do still have the brand new, unused FH-RM35 freehub, plus a used one in perfect condition removed from a rim damaged wheel. Just to be very clear, is it just the freehub you need or the complete wheel hub?

I have just photographed both freehubs I have. The new one is on the left and the used one on the right. If you want the new one I will say a tenner plus postage. Or you can have both for £13 plus postage. I will have to enquire about postage costs.

@compo that is a very generous offer. I expect on ebay they would easily sell for £20 and £10 respectively, if not substantially more. You are a gent

This particular freehub is hard to come by. It took me best part of a year to get mine. Loads of shops list it, some even say in stock, but when you order they come back with out of stock. I wanted a spare for this very reason so that if mine failed I would have a spare to hand without all the hassle. However shortly after getting the new spare I wrote off my wheel which is why I also have the used unit, and don't need either freehub.

brilliant compo! Ill take whatever you've got plus postage very kind of you! Its just the free hub I need, however, after having such trouble, how much would you want for the old/new hubs and the rest of the assembly?

 

[compo]

I didn't keep the hub assembly only the freehub so cannot help you other than the freehubs. I will pack them up and pop into a post office tomorrow and get a correct price for postage and let you know via PM.
