Evening all!

I picked up some Fulcrum Rapid Red 3 wheels from ebay for the gravel bike. They came with a Campag N3W freehub, but I had a Fulcrum XD freehub in the garage so I thought I could be a smart ass and swap them out. How wrong I was. Not only is the SRAM cassette on the bike actually an HG cassette, but the XD freehub doesn't even fit - it's too small. I'll never learn.

So, time to look for the correct freehub - hop onto the Fulcrum website to find which part I need and it's completely inconclusive. The wheels don't even feature in their adapters page, and the next-closest wheel (the Rapid Red 5) seems to suggest that R0-113 is the right part. But all descriptions of that talk about a 17mm axle. I've measured mine and it's 15mm.

Anyone got any tips for how to find out which part I need? I guess it would be wishful thinking for a SRAM-compatible cassette to fit on a N3W freehub?

Anyone from the day shift? Tried to contact i-ride this morning to see if they can help but can't get hold of them. Hope they weren't part of Chiggle 😮

Don't know about Fulcrum freehubs, mine came with HG for ultegra 11spd.

I-ride are part of the Orro outfit somehow - so still existing.

My current ride came with Fulcrum Red Powers - the freehub bearings were toast in 2 years, after trying to overhaul the hub with new I gave up, trashed the wheel and got a Hope replacement. Overhauled the front with new bearings so that's still on the bike. Very un-impressed with the serviceability/durability, its a brand I'll avoid in future
