Best site for techie stuff?

[BERGS2]

A forum within a forum request:

Whats is the best bike site (mountaing bike) for technical advice?

I've got a pair of WH-M975 XTR wheels on my bike - the freehub is sticking and the local bike shop has quoted £210 to fix it - I know XTR kit is lumpy but £200 for a bit of a bit of a wheel is a little rich...

My question - on the offchance that someone techie is reading here - is will XT axel, cones, bearings and freehub - fit in the XTR hub body - as this lot can be for significantly less cash...

cheers for t'help

get a tool to remove the freewheel and have a look...

has it just become sticky, or have you put a new cassette on there?... i swapped a cassette out for a singlespeed setup and the width of the singlespeed setup was fractionally narrower so caused the freewheel to jam up when the lockring was tightened... i added a couple of 1mm spacers and everything is now fine.

go on the shimano website they've got all the technical data for all their stuff ever, i think...

It's fairly new stuff isn't it? Take it all to pieces and have a look would be my advice, most freehubs are intercompatible but XTR stuff can be a bit more specialist sometimes....
