Howdy Burners,
After a few weeks of fucking around buying various fucking tools and parts from all over the country and the planet, I snapped the final fucking piece, the Park Tool RP-1, the moment it arrived trying to go through this service
for the wheels on this bike
The freehub design is a bit fucked and the bearing on the centreside of the freehub is surprisingly munted. The tools and parts required where hard to track down. Along the was I decided to take a short cut and purchased a complete freehub body and that fucking thing didn't fit because 12mm axel. The Park Tools pliers snapping was the last straw.
I'm now after a new hub, something that requires infrequent servicing, but when it does I won't need a bunch of hard to find specialist tools which break when you look at them, and is relatively easy to service. I'm guessing I'll need to get a new wheel built if I go down this path as nothing is likely to fit the fancy fucking set up on the bike.
Front wheel is fine. I hit the rough footbridges on the eastlink trail with a bit of pace if I'm carrying any. I don't think this has been too kind to the freehub, but in saying that the wheels still spin nicely and have remained true.
If I go down the hub route it needs to be 142x12mm, 6-Bolt, compatible with 11 speed.
All recommendations on what to get or next steps would be great. Any help appreciated. I'm too old to give any fucks about bling anymore.
