Bikeman told me its the cassette body is what has gone but that the part is obscure. I suppose I could try and do it as a hobbyist side project.
In future I would like hubs that have easier to obtain parts and I already have two other wheelsets that are on Hope so it seemed prudent to standardise.
I could get the cheap wheel that @edscoble suggests, but then what to do with the old rim+spokes? recycling bin I guess. I liked the idea of rebuilding them onto a shimano 105 hub because I heard that's the cheapest qr disc hub that has serviceable parts but I suppose once you've factored in buying new spokes and the shimano hub, the value of reusing a bog standard rim becomes sort of moot. (I can get my friend to do the actual building at slave labour rates)
The pair of wheels that came with my CDF are Formula hubs laced to Alexrims XD elite. Unsurprisingly the rear hub is dead and needs replacing. Should I relace a new hub to the same rim or get new rims and new hubs ( a whole new wheelset). And if I get new rims and hubs, what should I do with the old wheelset?
At the moment I feel like I would like a whole new wheelset (something like hope 20five) and rebuild the old rear wheel onto an affordable but boring shimano 105 hub so that I'll have two wheelsets (will run tubeless so nice to have wheelsets to swap in)
