It's obviously some kind of OEM rear hub. 150mm spacing. It came laced to a WTB SpeedDisc DH rim if it's of any help. As you can see, the circular spring that causes the pawls to return has broken. I'd like to try and get a replacement and be able to lace this up as a spare wheel if possible.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Formula...I think

Mavic uses a similar spring to hold the pawls in place as well.

Quite possibly. That was my suspicion as well.

What are my chances of getting them to ship me a couple of pawl springs from Taiwan if I contact them via http://www.formulahubs.com?






Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Anyone know the Canadian distributor off hand?

Yeah, I used to work for a company which used formula-made freehub bodies. It's a pretty standard design, and a similar spring from a number of hubs should work. See what your LBS has kicking around.

Distributer for what Formula or Mavic? Mavic is Outdoor Gear Canada and I seen the Formula hubs stocked in the Lambert catalog.

Also theres quite a few companys that use pawl springs like that.

I had the same thing happen to me with one of those. Went to LBS and used a spring from a clapped out shimano. Worked great. Works even better if you use two or three springs, engagement seemed better and there is plenty of room to get the springs in there. Hope this helps!!!

Hey I got that hub, looks nearly Identical to your pics.... Its yours if you want it... Ten bucks should cover shipping in a flat rate box

Let me know if you want it.

I bet a Hadley spring would work out fine too.

I have em at my shop.
