    Rogue Mechanic Bushing for Mavic Freehub Body | Upgrade for FTSL & FTSX

    $ 39.95

    Having a proclivity to solve problems with solutions targeted to be as good or better than the original,  I am making upgraded, precision bushings to replace the stock bushing in Mavic FTS-L and FTS-X freehub bodies.  

    These freehub bodies were used in all Mavic wheels from around 2000 until approximately 2015.  The bushing is what tends to wear. The result is excessive play in the freehub body that can cause poor shifting and noise when freewheeling (aka the death squeal).  

    The RogueMechanic bushing is machined in the USA out of domestically manufactured Dupont Delrin AF.  Dupont Delrin AF is an acetal homopolymer that is uniformly blended with 13% PTFE (Dupont Teflon) fibers giving it better wear characteristics and having a lower friction component (i.e  more slippery).  Besides it being brown (not white, yellow, or yellowish), there are other characteristics that make this material superior for this application, but I will share those soon in a detailed blog post.  The bottom line is that it is better than any other aftermarket bushing in the market.

    Everyone likes options or choices.  This is exactly what I'm offering you.  Currently, there are two options available for you when dealing with a Mavic freehub body that has a worn bushing; go to eBay and buy a bushing from one of the two sellers, or purchase a new complete freehub body from Mavic for around $70USD.  Now you have another option.  A precision replacement bushing that is made of a superior material that is machined in Cleveland Ohio.  During this development process, we also wear-tested these bushings the equivalent of over 1000 miles of coasting.  The results show very little, if any, wear to the surface of the bushing or the journal of the hub.  

    This bushing has the same dimensions that new factory Mavic bushings have.  Installation is tool-free and takes only a few minutes.  In addition to the bushing, I include a 10ml bottle of Tech Quality light mineral oil.

    Great parts, excellent knowledge, and even better customer service

    My cassette was wobbly and noisy and I finally came to the conclusion that I needed a new bushing for my Mavic freehub. Being a newbie to tearing the freehub apart, I was a bit apprehensive. The online tutorials at mavicparts.com gave me the confidence I needed and with photos I sent in John confirmed the part I needed. The installation was flawless and I was back on the road, without a rattling cassette, in no time.
    Two things have impressed me with my purchase. First, I really appreciate that John has this bushing made out of superior materials to the original Mavic part. While time (miles) will be the ultimate judge, I am very pleased that I have upgraded my hub not simply replaced the worn out part. Secondly, and more importantly, through my email interaction with John, I felt that his goal was to help me get the right solution for me and not merely a sale.
    Overall I am very happy with my purchase and interaction with the “Rogue Mechanic” and I give him the highest recommendation.

    Bye Bye Mavic Death Squeal

    It will be several thousand miles before I know if my Mavic Ksyrium wheel is forever fixed, but I was happy to get Rogue’s last metal replacement bushing :)

    Freehub Bushing

    The bushing was simple to install /per your video. The freehub still has some play but it is 20+ years old.
    The wheel set has been bullet proof over the years. I'm trying to hang on to them as long as possible.
    Thanks

    Mavic Freehub body bushing

    The Rogue Mechanic Mavic Freehub Body bushing fit perfectly when I installed it. The video demonstrating the bushing installation was clear and easy to follow.

    Mavic Freehub Body Bushing

    This replacement bushing came fast with good instructions and a vial of light oil. I’m a poor mechanic, but was able to service my 20-year-old freehub which now works like new. No more howling sound when I coast. It's a delight to ride my old Tarmac. Thanks, John!
