Hi everyone, this is my first post and I'm very proud to be the owner of the Sirrus Sport 2003. However, I lost all of the rear hub's components whilst cleaning it out this summer and I'm having a really hard time sourcing the exact same ones. Could anyone suggest where I could get them from? Does anyone know who makes the rear hub (I've been told it's Ritchey Logic but on the Specialized web site it says they are made by Specialized)?
Thanks guys.

you LOST the components out of the hub? like the axel, bearings, and races? I'm just curious, how did you manage that?
I think that if these things are gone, it might be best to either get a new rear wheel or, if the rim is nice enough, rebuild the wheel w/ a new hub.

I know, it sounds ridiculous. Whilst I was cleaning it out I put the components in tissue to keep them away from dirt and left these bits of tissue on the garage floor.
Next morning my dad was cleaning out the garage... guess what went with the rubbish! I cannot believe he didn't notice, or that at least one of the ball bearings didn't fall out. I don't suppose he did it on purpose; he was just trying to be efficient and ruthless at cleaning out the garage.
Now I haven't used my bike since mid-August and I can feel my body wasting away.

No name hubs are generally hard to get parts for. Your local bike shop might be able to come up with a working combination of replacement cones, locknuts, and bearings. It will be a trial and error type of thing but it might be cheaper than buying a new wheel or hub and spokes.
