SpruitCommuter Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I wondered whether it is possible to source spares for a rear hub (Shimano FH-RM66 cl from a 2014 scott scale 960). Specifically I'm looking for the drive side bearing seal (see attached pictures). In the diagram I think it's the equivalent of part number 12 (I don't think this is exactly the same hub). As I understand it's just a bit of plastic that keeps dust out and grease in. As you will see in the pictures mine is cracked (in fact a piece has come loose from it) - I suspect this happened when I got a new rim put on the wheel by a cycling shop - though I'm not sure. I think that the slight scraping noise from my rear wheel can be tied back to this. Thanks in advance.

SpruitCommuter Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 It seems like this part is actually comes with a freehub - I might just have to get a new freehub :-/
Skylark Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Look on eBay, there'll be plenty, you'll have to wait 6 weeks for it to arrive through. Maybe run the hub carefully with the existing seal, ie go out of your way not to get it splashed with mud or dirt and regrease it every 2 weeks or so till the new seal arrives, you could also bodge a repair to the seal with some duct tape in the meantime.
mike88 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Get the seal made up...you get lots of companies who makes seal as per sample
