Ultegra 9 speed freehub

Hi

I was out on my Sunday ride today and my Ultegra freehub siezed so
badly that my mates wife had to drive out with a replacement wheel.
Very embarrasing and spoilt a great ride.

Looks like I will need a new freehub, does anybody have one they want
to sell or suggest where I can get one, or an alternative for a
reasonable price. A quick look at the online stores suggests a price
of around £30!

Other than that it was a great day for a ride, you have to enjoy these
days cause they don't happen very often.

Did your hub just sieze up without any sort of prior indication?

Well, it's been sounding a little bit rough for a while so I have been
putting some grease on it. As I descended a hill it siezed & managed
to rip the locking nut off the skewer so there was nothing to hold the
wheel in place. I haven't had a good look yet as I have to retrieve it
but it seemed to be the freehub that was the problem.
