Review on 🚲 Quality Shimano Deore FH-M525-A 8/9-Speed Freehub Body - Enhance Your Bike's Performance! by Charles Julian

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good fit and finish

I bought this to convert an old Deore LX "Parallax" 7 speed hub to 8/9/10. I wasn't 100% sure it would fit, but I bought it anyway. Luckily it happened. Can't speak to durability yet, but it seems on par with most other Shimano clutch housings I've seen. FYI, it doesn't come with gaskets, dust caps, bearings or axle parts. Assembled socket body only as shown in the photo. Installation Process: I removed the axle and drive side bearings from the original hub. I then removed the original bushing with a 10mm hex and installed with the same screw. I replaced the bearings and axle and used the original dust cap.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Has issues
