Cannondale Freehub Body FH-117

This part is specifically engineered for select 2018 Cannondale models, including the Habit Alloy (4/5/6), Women's Habit Alloy (2/3), Bad Habit Alloy 4, Cujo Neo 2, and Trail Neo 29. Please verify your bike's model year and specific trim level before purchasing, as hub standards can vary significantly between production years.

Yes, the FH-117 is designed as a direct swap for the original freehub body on compatible hubs. It restores the original cassette engagement and power transfer without requiring modifications to your existing wheelset.

You likely need a replacement if you notice skipping or slipping when pedaling, excessive play or 'wobble' in your cassette, or if the freehub mechanism feels gritty and fails to engage smoothly. If your drivetrain feels inconsistent under load, the internal pawls or bearings within the freehub body may be worn out.

Yes, installing a freehub body typically requires a cassette lockring tool and a chain whip to remove the cassette, along with the appropriate hex or cone wrenches to disassemble the hub axle. If you are not comfortable servicing your own hub bearings or drivetrain, we recommend having a professional mechanic handle the installation to ensure proper torque and alignment.

The FH-117 is a complete freehub body assembly, meaning it includes the necessary internal components like the pawls and bearings required for immediate installation. It is designed to be a drop-in solution to get your rear wheel spinning smoothly again.
