Freehub Bodies
$184.00
Our freehub bodies (also referred to as “drivers”) are made from 6-4 Titanium and are only compatible with White Industries hubs. These modern versions are made to work with 11 and 12 speed cassettes (but can work with older cassettes) and are compatible with all our current hubs and some older models (see link below). They feature pockets for 3 pawls/springs and will accept 24T or 48T pawls depending on the drive ring in your hub. Most of the hubs we’ve made in the last 3 years will have the 48T drive ring and pawls installed but it’s always good to confirm what you have by counting the teeth in the drive ring (inside the hub body) or calling us for guidance.
It is possible to retrofit your hub to a 48T drive ring and pawls but it requires a drive ring tool which ain’t cheap (RRINGTL24) in addition to the parts. You will also have to confirm your hub is compatible with these newer freehub bodies by consulting the link below or calling us to help you figure it out.
*Freehub bodies include bearings and springs, not pawls. Your old pawls will work fine unless damaged.
Product Details
We’re going to assume that you’ve landed on this page because you want to either swap your freehub body for a different style or replace one due to damage, so it's important that you read all the information below to help ensure you choose the proper freehub body for your hub. You can also refer to the “Freehub Body Identification Guide” in the link at the bottom of this page to see more pictures and details on each freehub body. Here in the shop we often refer to "freehub bodies" as “drivers”, so if you read or hear that term from us, that’s what we mean. In the first dropdown menu, choose the line that lists your hub model. If you do not see your hub model listed, then none of the freehub bodies we offer will work. It's likely your hub is simply too old. After you select a given driver in the second dropdown menu, you will see a list of compatible hubs pop up. Again, if you don’t see your hub model listed for that driver, it means that driver will not fit that hub. If you have an H3 or Mi5 hub, refer to the notes below to help navigate your way to the correct driver. Most hub models are engraved on the center section of the shell. H3, Mi5 and Mi6 hubs are engraved in very small letters and numbers above the “W” logo. Look carefully. If you have one of our really old hubs with an aluminum, steel, or 7/8 speed titanium driver, none of the available drivers will fit nor do we have replacements available. Sorry!Specs
