Shimano WH-R501-R Freehub Body is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 12.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jason2988 from Good solid free hub Package arrived quickly from wiggle so very pleased with that. The free hub was packaged up well and very easy to fit. Tested it before fitment and after and works perfectly. All I had to do was re-grease and fit new bearings for the wheel.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Expeealydoshis from Did not fit. Would have expected all Shimano Freehubs, or at least all those for the 10s cassette, for example, to have same base fitting pattern. As this is now clearly not the case, I would suggest that product description photographs show the base fitting pattern.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JT52 from Fitted great on my 10 speed shimano hub I bought this because the cup was worn out on my hub - saved buying a new hub
Date published: 2020-06-23
Rated 4 out of 5 by Robertearlkeen from cheaper than a new wheel The freehub on my R501s developed a cracking sound after a couple years of use on my winter commuting bike. It's a shame that the freehub can't be disassembled and cleaned out, but this replacement body is fairly easy to fit if you have a 10 mm hex wrench and are used to adjusting cup-and-cone bearings. Hub works like new now - cheaper than buying a new wheel!

0397.463 'K7 body Formula 8-9s Shimano

I have a Decathlon Btwin Road bike that needs a 0397.463 'K7 body Formula 8-9s Shimano I think that I need a 12mm Allen key to get this off. Compatible?
Asked by: SimonRous
In this case we would advise you to go to a local bike shop and they will be able to double check the free hub and its availability for you. The free hub should be removable with an 11mm allen key.

Will this fit a 105 10spd rear hub

Asked by: Hunty11
If you have the Shimano WH-R501 Clincher Wheelset this will be compatible. There will be a serial number printed on your hub (usually in the middle) this should read WH-R501 or HB-R501 to be compatible.

Bearings etc

Would this be all I need to buy to replace my existing freehub body - does it have bearings etc?
Asked by: DominicR
This will come with the bearings already installed in the freehub and ready to fit to the wheel. I hope this helps.
