24 hole Disc Mtb hub

[Serendipity]

I own a nice set of 24 hole Mtb Disc Mavic 3.01xc wheels. The hubs however have expired. Where can I find replacement hubs both front and rear. The only people on the web I can find who make them are formula. They don't seem to have a local distributor. I can't find them at chainreaction or the other online stores.

Have you tried getting the mavic hub through the local supplier? There are other mail order services in the USA that's also pretty good.

I tried every single one I could find - no luck. The original hub was also a formula hub - when Dragon Imports - the guys who import Giant still did their local business. The rims came standard with my Giant NRS1

What's the problems with the hubs? bearings?

[Serendipity]

The free hub broke one of the splines off during the Karoo to Coast last year and the bearings are also bad. I can find bearings but not a free hub. My LBS tried all available options without sucess. The front one is just bearings - I could try and replace them - just thought it would be easier just to replace the hub.

Exactly what make and model hubs are they?

[Serendipity]

I have no idea. The LBS said it is formula hubs. There is no markings or labels or model or serial numbers to be seen on the hubs. I don't know.

Tried eBay?

You're really gonna struggle to find 24-hole hubs. I would try one of the bigger overseas dealers - see what they can find in 24h.

 

It might be easiest just to replace the wheels completely.

I tried e-bay without luck. Put a lookout for it though. If any comes along I should get notified. I bought a set of 517's to ride in the meantime. Just a waste to let them gather dust in the garage...
