hi there
i have 3 sets of prime wheels using a variety of prime hubs. Given the demise of wiggle and the rubbish nature of the bearings I’m looking to get some spare parts as the free hubs usually seize fairly sharpish. Can you replace the freehub bearings in a prime hub (think it’s a novatec but not sure). Alternatively will novatec freehub fit, and if so how would I know which ones to buy?
the 3 hubs are
sr1d, sr2d and rd010.

Grab the relevant tech documents from the Prime website before it disappears. Looks like they are standard bearings anyway so shouldn't be a problem getting replacements further on down the line.

never replaced a freehub bearing before. Usually just buy a new freehub. Are all freehub bearings replaceable, assuming you can source the correct sized bearing?

Yes, they normally are. That link above also has bearing replacement instructions.
I ordered spare freehub body’s for my Prime hubs recently, £9 at last reckoning if they’ve still got any.
