Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Need to Replace Xero Freehub Body - Where to get it or should I get new wheels

I need to replace my freehub body on my xero wheels. (XR-3) It looks like Xero is available only through a distributor....

Anyone know where I might be able to find something like this and what the cost might be?

Is it worth it to replace the freehub body with the wheel set is from 2004. I bought the bike used LYdon't know the number of miles but the X on the wheels is barely noticable at this point. I have put about 1200 miles on it since purchase. If I had to guess, I would guess at least 4000miles on the bike. I just replaced the cassette, chain, and chainrings due to wear.

I believe that Xero = Formula. But I'd just buy a new wheelset unless you can actually find a freehub body. Under $50 probably worth it, over, buy new.

i'd get new wheels. XR-3's aren't worth keeping after you thrash them really.
