Freehubs

[Venod]

I have a hub that I can't find a freehub for, the pawls broke so not been able to find a freehub I replaced the whole hub with a Hope Pro 4, very well made and spares available and very noisy.

Does anybody know of a website that lists Freehubs and their dimensions ? this information is hard to trackdown.

The hub with the broken freehub is a Vicinitech which seems to be popular in Brazil, although I got it from Taiwan, first thoughts were its a Novetech but their freehubs are different.

Can't you just replace the broken pawls ?

Yes that would be ideal but I can't find any, I did find some Sram ones same shape but bigger, the drive ring has 48 teeth.

Formula springs to mind as a similar generic hub, but it's a case of finding spares, not easy.

They look like the Formula hubs on my Boardman FS Pro, but it's near on impossible to get spare freehubs (like many other hubs in reality).

The advantage is at least you can service/replace the cartridge bearings. I've stripped mine down to re-grease a couple of times..

Yes it's a minefield, so many different free hubs, most of them lack dimensions so you don't know if they can be used as a substitute, the Hope hub I have replaced it with is good for spares.
