XT Freehub Body, local stores?

dang, i was 5 minutes into my ride at fully yesterday and my rear wheel was making a terrible sound. long story short, i got home and took my rear hub apart, and turns out the freehub is toast....to be more exact, one of the 4 pawls broke.

i have an XT FH-M775 rear hub an called all my local shops, no one has a freehub body (y3cz98050) in stock, which i figured they wouldnt. anyone know of a shop that MIGHt have one?

jenson has one in the Minnesota warehouse. i wanted to ride this weekend too :T

 

Places I would definitely call are The Path, Newbury Park Bikes, Incycle and maybe Helen's. They are pretty good size shops (or a chain of shops) with lots of repairs going on. There are a few other well stocked bike shops here and there, but it's a crapshoot. Although I have been rewarded many times by being persistent when chasing down such parts. No telling who might have actually one.

 

doh, no one has em. :T o well. thx tho!

 

Send it back to Shimano, get it covered under warranty, if you have one.

 

i bought the wheelset used and not sure what year it is. :T

 

they won't ask, just call them up. Shimano is real good about warranties

 

Im sure we have a couple shimano freehub bodies at the shop..... just we are all the way in redlands

 

ah, o well. i ended up buying one on jensons. i called shimano and they said they needed original receipt. :T o well. i do have a friend that hooks me up with shimano fishing stuff but he said bike stuff takes a while to get and im impatient. LOL

 

They are cheap anyways, and I agree, not worth the wait when you can get it in a day or two...
