University teacher 🙂 To be honest, I watched almost 100 videos about bb, cassette cleaning etc. Clarity and explanatory wise this one was nr 1 by distance. Kudos, keep up my friend.
Thank you so much for your excellent presentation. While I do not see myself doing this change, just watching you gives me a better understanding of my bikes' workings and less fear.of doing my own maintenance.
my bike was 3x7 and I change a new hub and use a 1x12 SRAM NX and it works perfectly. You can show you bike to a mechanic that want to help you and not to sell a new bike.
I want to get some 36h hubs and the only ones I can find on ebay are the old style 7 speed free hub bodies. I'd like to convert it like this. I didn't even think that this was even possible. This is very helpful. Thank you.
One thing you should be mindfull of is freehub compatibility. Most shimano freehubs can be undone with a 10 mm Allen key but some require different tools and the splines will differ from model to model as well. Some different hub models will use the same amount of splines and mounting system but will require some good research before hand.
My 7-speed Shimano freehub body slides out nicely. I just have to undo the cassette lock nut, remove the cassette and then slide the freehub body out on the shaft. Very easy to remove and clean/service/replace.
SickBiker, What I was taught when I was taking automotive classes before I became an Automotive Master technician is NEVER use a magnet for removing bearings. There is a possibility that the bearings will get magnetized and attract worn metal shavings. This will cause the bearings to self destruct.
NDS obviously, BUT after removing the 7speed axle you need to remove the drive side cone to swop it over to the longer 9-10-11 axle. You will have to re-dish the wheel to re-center it in the frame.
I know. I think this guy gives a-lot of bad advise. Or at least a-lot off incomplete advise. I mean, I can already think of tons of stuff wrong with this video and things he never even comes close to discussing to make this "project" even viable. Couple are the things you mentioned (longer axle, dishing.) And that's only the beginning. smh
@@peterjv8748 hey man, i need help.. please if you know answer me back.. i am doing a 7speed shimano exage 126mm dropout rear wheel with freehub body upgrade to 10 speed shimano tiagra. i bought FH-m525a freebody that comes from deore rear hub and now my question is which cone i need so i can put the new part on my axle. do i need the whole right nut parts that come with the deore axle or i can complete this with my old exage right side nut parts. also i am planing to use my original axle bolt and plan to just put the wheel by litle bit of squeezing since it will most probably be 130mm after the whole replacing and locking is done?
@@serafar Several reasons I don't think it will work. Spacing, dishing would be a struggle even for experienced wheel builders. Is your frame steel? If so, I think you'd be better off getting a whole new wheel. One with 130mm O.L.D. spacing will be hard to find. So cold setting the frame to a 135mm rear dropouts is probably your best bet. 135mm hubs/wheels are plentiful and cheap.
@@peterjv8748 yes it is steel frame and it goes streatching to 130mm no problem. I've read a lot on many forums that you can do 10 speed up. with 130mm hub rearangement from 126mm hub like my exage is. Ill try anyway before i decide if ill need to buy a new 130 or 135mm hub. Point is this road bike has all exage groupset so i plan to reuse the hubs and the crankset with the breaks to keep the retro flavor.
130mm QR hubs are inexpensive and widely available as they are the old road bike standard. 11 speed road and mountain (with included 1.65 mm cassette spacer) compatible. Go nuts!
Don't forget that when you do this kind of transformation the wheel is going to be off center due to the fact that the drive side is going to be longer and by this the non drive side shorter. Correct it by realign your wheel. 🤙
@@arbjful Slightly loosen all spokes on one side then tighten all the spokes on the other side the same amount (work in increments of 1/4 turn of spoke nipples). The rim will shift away from loosened spokes side to tightened spokes side, and should stay true.
I was cleaning my chain and had it removed. I noticed that spinning the gears might need service. So you just showed me how to take it apart. You read my mind....wild :)
Nice useful video. I have just replaced my MTB 3x7 Shimano type freehub body (which had 3 pawls and one of them failed because the freehub body cracked where it sits) with a new similar 3x7 freehub body, but with 6 pawls. I was not sure that it would work but it went in perfectly and engages like a dream. I love how today's modern promotional media has managed to convince the people that going from 21 speeds to 18, 11 or 10 speeds is actually an 'upgrade'. LOL thank you but no thank you. I'll stick to my wider 21 gear range and will not downgrade to less gears.
It is to be said that often 10-52 tooth cassettes have the same range as 21 speeds, i like 21 speeds and they do have a good amount of pros, like the quick downshifts but 12 speeds are lighter have less chain falling off type problems as well as a cleaner cockpit and less service needs, it really depends on what you prefer
with the freehub, the total length is not measured, but the length of the mounted cartridge!😁😁 Shimano 7speed is 31mm respectively 30,9mm and 8-10speed is 35 res. 34,9mm😎
Nice one, I have an old set of lovely Mavic 231's with a 7-speed Deore LX hub, and having an 8-speed cassette would really open up the gears that I could use in a 2 x/ 1 x scenario, and I could carry on using my old 1989 Deore II thumbshifters (they have a "secret" 8th click)
Timely video, thanks for sharing. Do you not have to re-dish the wheel or adjust spacers on the axle to account for the 3mm difference between old freehub and new freehub?
How do you find the right freehub body for the upgrade? I ordered one for Shimano and it doesn't fit. Also do you use the big axle or the small one? Thanks !
@@jjsoledad8553 nope. You need a shifter that matches the cassette.. chain ring spacing could need to be changed but it shouldn’t if you aren’t changing anything up front.
Good day, this is really a timely helpful video for me. Nicely done. I got question though if you don't mind. My 9 speed shimano freehub is not freewheel anymore that means I keep on pedaling forward without stopping. Any Idea or video how to fix this kind of problem and what are the tools needed? Thanks in advance. I hope you can put some video how to resolve this kind of bike problems. More power to your channel!
I have a trek marlin 6 2021 model, and it did came with a 2x7 speed so I put a 12 speed and it did worked good, of course 12 speed shifter derailleur too .!
Any suggestions ...I have an entry level specialized rockhopper sport with the new cues 1x9 system. It works fine. . The only annoying thing is the amount of play in the rear hub before the gear reingages. My bike shop had no idea what I was talking about. .....135 x9mm rear hub with quick release... link glide cassette not compatible with micro spline or hyperglide
@@justasducinskas633 You might be right but I don’t think so. I’m still riding my ‘86 Zebra and did all this over the the years on it as I upgraded. The important measurements start at 4:56. Look carefully at 5:38 and the cone stack height. The 8+ speed cone assembly appears to fall about 3mm lower but is thinner. As he says, one would have to pull the the stays apart to insert the wheel, that difference has to go somewhere. I’m pretty sure the dish would need 2-3mm adjustment.
hello, thank you for this video, i have a question can i use an 2x9 crankset on a 2x10 bike? i need to change the length of the crank arm and try to keep the budget low in case i need to go even shorter. I'm replacing a 172.5 for 170 mm.
This video was golden! I have wondered if the rear cassette can be upgraded without going for a complete drivetrain. If the larger freehub body will take 8, 9 , 10 or 11 speed does this mean that I should be able to upgrade my 9-speed Shimano 105 cassette to an 11-speed Shimano 105 cassette without changing the freehub body?
Yes, 9, 10 and 11 use the same length freehub. The space between sprockets is changing so you can fit more sprockets. That's why you need a different chain. Because chains for more gears are narrower.
@@DimitrisConstantinou I have a 10 speed rear wheel and I can't upgrade it with an 11 speed. There is about 1.6 mm difference. I basically removed one sprocket in order to fit it on the 10 speed hub. There are few videos here in YT explain this situation....many thanks
not all hubs interchangeable, shimano intentionaly changed design to prevent this, i looked for 8gear body to replace broken 8 gear body and it was problem
please, the internet is full of old information about freehubs compatibility that are no longer true. since fixing bolt is not 10mm for all the rear hubs, the interchangeabilty of the freehubs is tied to the rear hub of the wheel (and the widht of the fixing bolt and the axle) we can not use an xt (today) freehub in a deore rearhub (14mm fixing bolt vs. 10mm fixing bolt). we can swap freehubs when they are compatible with the fixing bolt to attach to the rear hub. maybe a video with freehub compatibilty by / between series (share fixing bolt widht) be helpfull. i.e: today a 20º click freehub is nice for you. tomorrow you need 10º click... ok, swap the freehub and go away... errrr. nope today. what's your rear hub axle widht? ok, then you can go for one or other freehubs. thank you.
just be careful when re-greasing bearings. i went abit over the top, they was tight but after a few rides they went lose again. just dont put to much grease on them lol
Sounds like you made the cone to tight. I use lots of grease its never causes tight resistance. Having the cones too tight or too loose will cause scoring and premature wear to the bearings and cones.
The bolt that goes through the rear hub has snapped when trying to get the hub off, any tips to get it off now? I can turn one side but impossible for me to grip the other side! :(
The answer for your question is: You have to remove the nut from the non drive side. The cone and nut of the drive side are stuck togeter on propouse ;) I think you know why :D !!!
did you measure how deep the lockring goes in to the freehub body (how many turns are needed to tigthen the lockring to 40Nm)? I did the same and with a 11 speed HG Deore cassette and a 34.9mm (a standard) freewheel but mine just need 1.5 turn to reach 40Nm, that I believe is not enough a longer lockring is needed. with a 135mm frame there are no issues about spacing.....
I was replacing my deore m535 9sp freehub body with fh-hg20 7sp freehub body. Since the interface is the same (10 notch) it just plug and play. Easy job. The downside is, when i fit the 8sp cassette, i have to sacrifice 1 cog in order to fit nicely in the shorter 7sp freehub body. Not Biggie for me. HOWEVER...... when i decided to upgrade my freehub body, i am buying the RM35 freehub from my friend, then undo the freehub body, then fitted into my deore m535 rear hub. I notice some difference. My new rm35 free hub body is having 15 notch and bigger interface than my old deore (m535). What the f? I just realise that shimano having more than 1 interface. Sad.
But what if u have a solid threaded axle that does not pull through the wheel so u can not remove the axle?? What do i do in that situation,will the end of the wheel that u pulled the hub off that spline screw or attach onto my axle so i can then follow your steps or is there another system
Great info. Finding freehub body compatible is hard and I am more of a ratio guy so instead of 8,9, 10, or 11 speed how about just changing the cassette like 11-50 teeth 7 speed instead of 11-50 teeth 11 speed. Wouldn't that be lighter? Plus less shifting? I do not know the feeling hope you can feature that regarding possibility and feel on riding.
@@a.sarmiento5116 problem is in small numbers: to shift for one gear to higher ratio you should rev to max before shift,specially is big difference between 18 and 11, imagine that your car has only 3 gears,1. 3. 5., first to red rpm to shift in 3. ,you would less shift gears but you would torture yourself,you can not have on one bike comfortable ratios for speeds from 3-90 km/ h in few gears,i have on road bike with gears difference by 1 tooth and it is very comfortablee for speeds 20-40 km/ h,what is 99percent driving time
i bought 2nd hand hubs and noticed a slight wobble on the cassette despite it being correctly installed. took out the freehub body from my shimano 105 r7000 and noted it lacks the freehub body spacer. any suggestions where i can buy those? tnxu in advance sir... Despite the wobble, shifting is very accurate and it only wobbles when coasting, not pedaling nor back pedaling. btw SickBiker, your videos are very informative, accurate. tnxu vmch indeed sir...
Hi I have an 6061 aluminium frame hybrid bike 7x3 speed drivetrain with an older freewheel set up...is it possible for me to equip the bike with an 8-11 speed similar to stock 36 hole hub with the stock dropout measurements ?
Thanks for the video! I learned that it's really easy to change the body. Now, is it possible to upgrade the body of a FH-M4050 11-speed hub to get faster engagement (SLX, XT)? It seems that you cannot mix hub and body from different series. Can someone confirm?
Just wondering what number or version of xt hub on your 8/10 are you using.I have a old Shimano 600 7 spd hub probably early to mid 90s that I would like to upgrade.Seeing a lot Shimano Xt HB-756 ,would this work?

If you do it this way than the wheel will not be centered in the frame! For total perfection You have to center the wheel with the new freehub body
Dish the wheel you mean?
Most bike frame will have enough clearance. You will be fine
Yes, dished to center, half the difference of shift.

I did the same and with a 11 speed HG Deore cassette and a 34.9mm (a standard) freewheel but mine just need 1.5 turn to reach 40Nm, that I believe is not enough a longer lockring is needed.
with a 135mm frame there are no issues about spacing.....
I was replacing my deore m535 9sp freehub body with fh-hg20 7sp freehub body. Since the interface is the same (10 notch) it just plug and play. Easy job. The downside is, when i fit the 8sp cassette, i have to sacrifice 1 cog in order to fit nicely in the shorter 7sp freehub body. Not Biggie for me.
HOWEVER......
when i decided to upgrade my freehub body, i am buying the RM35 freehub from my friend, then undo the freehub body, then fitted into my deore m535 rear hub. I notice some difference. My new rm35 free hub body is having 15 notch and bigger interface than my old deore (m535). What the f? I just realise that shimano having more than 1 interface. Sad.
I changed full hub that has sealed bearings, its probably much better to change the whole hub
But what if u have a solid threaded axle that does not pull through the wheel so u can not remove the axle?? What do i do in that situation,will the end of the wheel that u pulled the hub off that spline screw or attach onto my axle so i can then follow your steps or is there another system
Remove nut from left or non drive side.
Great info. Finding freehub body compatible is hard and I am more of a ratio guy so instead of 8,9, 10, or 11 speed how about just changing the cassette like 11-50 teeth 7 speed instead of 11-50 teeth 11 speed. Wouldn't that be lighter? Plus less shifting? I do not know the feeling hope you can feature that regarding possibility and feel on riding.
you suggest 7 gears sprocket 11-50, ok, give numbers of teeth for every gear(first and last are known, you have 5 more gears)
@@makantahi3731 11,18,24,28,36,42,50 will this work the standard of ztto is 11,13,15,18,21,24,28,32, 36,42,50.
@@a.sarmiento5116 problem is in small numbers: to shift for one gear to higher ratio you should rev to max before shift,specially is big difference between 18 and 11, imagine that your car has only 3 gears,1. 3. 5., first to red rpm to shift in 3. ,you would less shift gears but you would torture yourself,you can not have on one bike comfortable ratios for speeds from 3-90 km/ h in few gears,i have on road bike with gears difference by 1 tooth and it is very comfortablee for speeds 20-40 km/ h,what is 99percent driving time
i bought 2nd hand hubs and noticed a slight wobble on the cassette despite it being correctly installed. took out the freehub body from my shimano 105 r7000 and noted it lacks the freehub body spacer. any suggestions where i can buy those? tnxu in advance sir...
Despite the wobble, shifting is very accurate and it only wobbles when coasting, not pedaling nor back pedaling.
btw SickBiker, your videos are very informative, accurate. tnxu vmch indeed sir...
Yes you can purchase the spacer, just like you can buy the body...
Hi I am so Thank you.
Is the same structure for a MicroSpline Body?
Will the old fastening bolt work with the new hub body?
I should adjust the cone on the drive side in order to compensate for the larger hub correct?
Great content, thanks.
Very nice information bro 🚲
hello to replace a Campagnolo 11sp freehub to Shimano 11sp is it possible? thanks I hope you can guide me
Hi I have an 6061 aluminium frame hybrid bike 7x3 speed drivetrain with an older freewheel set up...is it possible for me to equip the bike with an 8-11 speed similar to stock 36 hole hub with the stock dropout measurements ?
Yes, but you will have to redish your wheel (loosen on the left, tighten on the right). It will make the difference in spoke tensions even greater ;-(
Thanks for the video! I learned that it's really easy to change the body.
Now, is it possible to upgrade the body of a FH-M4050 11-speed hub to get faster engagement (SLX, XT)? It seems that you cannot mix hub and body from different series. Can someone confirm?
really good video. thank you.
Can you change the Formula DC-31, alloy, 6-bolt, 6/7/8-speed freewheel hub to a 1x11 freehub hub?
Just wondering what number or version of xt hub on your 8/10 are you using.I have a old Shimano 600 7 spd hub probably early to mid 90s that I would like to upgrade.Seeing a lot Shimano Xt HB-756 ,would this work?
Well done 👍
Parabéns! Top das galáxias!!!
Can you buy microspline freehub body?
