Hi, I've got a 2011 Mongoose Fireball (stock pic)
We've been there and back, and I want to show it some love
It was converted to single speed, I'd like to revert it back to 8-speed
I don't have all the parts, so I'd have to buy new.
The parts, so far as I can tell are: SRAM SX4 / X4 Trigger
The only manual I can find calls for the HG30 8-speed, I was given a CS-HG31 cassette with the bike and told it's what came off it, but I don't have the loose 11tooth that goes with it.
The freehub has been slipping lately, I have no idea what it is/part number, to replace it
The derailleur hanger is still on the bike (I installed a single speed tensioner)
My questions are:
Is there a difference in cassettes, that effects fitment
These parts seem available on Ebay via china/taiwan are these knock-offs?
How do I source a freehub, is it replaceable or repairable? or are these fairly generic?
It's got cable brakes and 160mm rotors: Will ebay (MT200?) Shimano hydraulic kits fit, worth it, knock offs?
- (Happy to buy from any reputable '.
com.au' vendor, if parts available)
A bike shop once upgraded my quick release axles, with TranzX skewers, that seem stronger, after I was concerned about wheel retention with the down facing rear drop outs, the 2014 went to horizontal drop outs and bolt on axle. I'm assuming i'm person #3096 asking 'can I change to bolt on axle?'
Thank you for reading long post
I know it's not an expensive/brand bike, it's sentimental
