Easton Freebody/Brilliant Service

Any idea where I can get a C1 V1 XC2 freebody for my Easton EA70 wheel?

Thanks for the help, guys.   

 

After phoning every bike shop I think who might be able to help, and visiting a few that I know have "older" stuff hidden in the drawers, I drew a blank everywhere. Everybody just looked at the freebody and said, sorry, can't help you. 

As I was  trying the shops closest to me first, without luck, I drove out to Meerendal to Knipe Racing.

Explained my problem to Louis, and instead of a "sorry, can't help you", I got a "sure, let's have a look"

He did not just repacked and lubed the freewheel bearings, he also refitted it to the wheel and trued the wheel that was a bit out of whack, all the while chatting to me like old friends.

 

Now this is an old wheel (so old that the spares for it is not available anymore), but Louis treated it like a top of the range wheel, his attention to detail, and the skills he exhibited whilst working on it, was a sight to behold. He scratched around in his old stock, to find what was needed to repair my freewheel.

 

I walked out of his shop, beaming from ear to ear, and with a wheel that got a new lease on life, and me not too much out of pocket. 

 

Thank you Louis, you are a true star, and an example of someone who goes out of his way to help a cyclist in a spot of bother.

Good to know. Have some Eastons myself and would support a guy willing to make a plan.

Sounds a lot like the "Sherrif" too
