Product Information
Full details
The Shimano 105 Rear Freehub (FH-R7000) is designed for cyclists seeking a durable and smooth-riding rear hub compatible with 9, 10, and 11-speed drivetrains. Its key benefit lies in its advanced bearing treatment and robust sealing, ensuring low friction and protection against the elements. A potential consideration is its standard 130mm O.L.D., which may require specific frame compatibility.

FAQs
Is this freehub compatible with SRAM cassettes?
While it is designed for Shimano cassettes, the FH-R7000 may be compatible with certain SRAM 9, 10, or 11-speed cassettes due to historical standardization. However, for guaranteed compatibility and optimal shifting performance, using Shimano cassettes is recommended.
Can I use this hub with a disc brake wheel?
No, the Shimano FH-R7000 is a freehub body designed for use with rim brake systems and does not have a rotor mounting interface.
How often should I service the bearings?
Service intervals depend on riding conditions. For regular road riding, a bearing service every 5,000-10,000 miles (or annually) is a general guideline. In wet or dusty conditions, more frequent servicing may be necessary.
What does 'Anodised cold forged aluminium' mean for durability?
Cold forging creates a stronger, more durable aluminum structure. Anodizing further enhances this by adding a hard, corrosion-resistant surface layer, making the hub shell more resistant to wear and environmental damage.
Does it come with spokes or a rim?
The FH-R7000 is a rear freehub body. It is the component that the cassette mounts onto and includes the hub shell, bearings, and seals. It does not include spokes, a rim, or rim brake surfaces.
What is the primary benefit of the internal grease sleeve?
The internal grease sleeve helps to ensure that the grease is held within the bearing housing, preventing it from being displaced during use. This aids in maintaining proper lubrication and extending the lifespan of the hub bearings.
Troubleshooting
Hub feels notchy or rough when rotating.
This could indicate contamination or wear in the bearings. Schedule a service to have the bearings cleaned, inspected, and repacked with fresh grease. Ensure the seals are intact.
Cassette is loose on the freehub body.
Ensure the cassette lockring is properly tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Check that all cassette spacers (if applicable) are correctly installed.
Difficulty installing or removing the wheel.
Verify that the frame dropout spacing is indeed 130mm and that the wheel is properly aligned in the dropouts before tightening the Quick Release. For removal, ensure the Quick Release lever is fully opened.
Excessive play or wobble in the wheel.
The hub bearings may need adjustment or servicing. Consult a bicycle mechanic to check and adjust the hub's bearing preload.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your bicycle frame has a 130 mm Over Locknut Dimension (O.L.D.).
- Install the desired cassette onto the freehub body, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Mount the wheel into the frame dropouts and secure using the included Quick Release skewer.
Compatibility:
- Drivetrain Speeds: Compatible with 9, 10, and 11-speed Shimano cassettes.
- Brake Type: This is a freehub body and is not compatible with disc brake rotors. It is designed for rim brake systems.
- Frame Spacing: Requires a frame with a 130 mm rear dropout spacing.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the hub shell with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the hub.
- Lubrication: The internal grease sleeve helps maintain lubrication. However, regular servicing as recommended by Shimano, which may include repacking bearings, will ensure longevity and optimal performance.
- Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage on the freehub body and bearings.
