Not a common stock item in SA bike shops. Ask your LBS to get some prices from Coolheat.

for mtb? any model in particular?

MTB yeah. No specific model. I'm looking for a set of Boost hubs and I've never had issues with Shimano's stuff. So I was just wondering why it's not common here.

Maybe check the Shimano warehouse/factory/shop near greenstone? Seen their board a couple of times when passing the mall.

Problem or solution?

I've had good success from Olympic Cycles (based in CT) they sourced a standard MTB QR rear hub got the exact part that I wanted. (Bang them a email : sales@olympiccycles.co.za)

 

Also got a front and rear hub from buycycle.co.za, they happened to have what I wanted in stock.

I love Shimano components but from personal experience - steer clear of their hubs and wheels.  After a year or two you will not get parts.  Rather go for sealed bearing hubs.

Problem or solution? 

Unfortunately, the problem, yet only solution.

 

Other than CRC, that is.

But also beware of Skynet rip off... (CRC courier)...

Because there are MUCH better hubs available - Hope for example... better in every way.

Sure if you ask your lbs they can order it for you. Most shops won't stock uncommon items but order it without any problem.

You should not blame the bearings for your weakness.... Apply rule 5...
