How To Replace Freehub Cartridge Bearings and Service - Road Bike Maintenance

Freehubs can cost a fortune, can be a nightmare to track down, and some you just can’t get anymore. But what if I told you you could just repair the old one? Well, in this video, I’m going to show you exactly that. I did a video a few weeks ago, and in it I noticed that the freehub bearings on the bike I was working on had failed, and I said I’d do a video on how to fix it, well this is that video. To do this job, you’ll need the following tools: Your normal spanners and hex keys.
