Replacement Pawls & Spring for Shimano HG Freehub Required


WKNDWRRR

Recommended Posts

Hi. Does anyone know where I can buy a set of replacement pawls and spring for a Shimano HG Freehub Body? 

Ideally locally in Cape Town. 

Through a combination of stupidity on my part and bad luck (don't ask) I have lost one of the pawls and I really don't want to replace the whole freehub because of one pawl. 

I've attached a few pics for reference

What brand is the hub? Just remember that the pawls are specific to the brand of hub and not to the driver body type.

Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that. I've had a look and cannot see any text or serial numbers anywhere on the freehub body.

Check for branding on the actual hub and not the freebody

No branding on the hubs either ????. The bike is a Silverback Stratos AL3 and the hubs are listed as 'Sealed Bearing Hubs' on their website. 

Looking at pics online it looks a lot like the DT Swiss hub & freebody

Contact Silverback, they're now in stellenbosch. They will either be able to assist with what exact spares you need, or could even possible assist with some spares in a box or whatever... They're really helpful.

Thanks, that's a good idea. I'll do that.

Resolution update:

Silverback SA are the bomb!!

I sent them a mail asking for advice, received a call from Robert within 10 minutes. Had a quick conversation. 

Replacement Freehub arrived from them in the post the next day, free of charge.

Truly exceptional service!
