Are Mavic hubs any good?

The hubs are incredibly tough, delivering high mileage and long-lasting dependability. And the QRM bearings are the smoothest in the category. It all adds up to a wheelset that delivers the high-quality ride that Mavic is known for.

Are Mavic freehub bodies interchangeable?

Both Aksiums and Ksyriums use the Mavic FTSL hub system, where there’s a CD10 freehub for Campag and a M10 for Shimano, which are interchangeable. I wouldn’t worry about 9sp Campag vs 10/11sp : your existing freehub on the Aksiums works fine with your 9sp Campag, so will work just the same on the Ksyriums.

Are Mavic hubs loud?

The plastic bushing Mavic uses as the inboard bearing in their freehub design wears out, and when the cassette body becomes loose, it starts to make that howling sound when freewheeling at high speed. Tightening the cassette body helps at first, but the noise quickly returns.

Are Mavic wheels good?

Can I change my freehub body?

How do I adjust my hubs on my Mavic?

Adjust the adjustment nut by fully tightening it and then untightening it by a 1/4 turn, so as to close the quick release lever (CLOSE position) with a suitably large force. However, a too large tightening force may damage the bearings.
