thank you again. pothound
As davidad said, I hope you are planning to replace the whole hub as a Shimano freehub body won't fit your current hub shell. You might find it cheaper to replace the entire wheel instead of doing just a hub swap. Any of the Shimano 8/9/10-speed freehubs will be fine as lond as the over locknut dimention matches. For a 135 mm OLD hub, a Deore or Deore LX will be great and for a 130 mm OLD, a Tiagra or 105 should fill the bill.
