Bicycles Asked by DoctorClaw on August 16, 2021
The rear wheel bearings on my 2008 Giant FCR2 need replacing, and the freehub body is feeling a bit notchy, so while it’s all in bits I’d like to be able to have the option of replacing.
I understand that this hub should be a Formula sealed bearing hub, according to the specs, but I can’t see any identifying marks to indicate the model on the hub or freehub body apart from "HA" stamped on the body.
Can anybody identify this hub and body and/or suggest a compatible body replacement? (Click images for larger views.)
Based on the information from Giant, looking at the hub models from Formula it looks like an RB-32 or RB-32C

Considering that the bike is more than a dozen years old and has rim-brakes, it would be a good idea to check the state of the rims. Depending on the mileage of the bike they could easily have reached the safety limit and need replacing.
So a pair of new wheels may be an option.
