Frequently Asked Questions
Which cassette types fit the MTH-746 freehub body?
The freehub is offered in two variants: an SRAM XD driver for 11/12-speed SRAM XD cassettes, and a Shimano 9/10-speed splined variant for traditional 9/10-speed Shimano-compatible cassettes. Confirm your cassette type and hub model before ordering.
Can I convert an MTH-746 hub between XD and Shimano spline with this part?
No — the body must be ordered in the specific spline type you need. The XD and Shimano 9/10sp variants are different parts and not interchangeable without replacing the freehub body with the correct variant.
How difficult is installation and do I need special tools?
Installation is a routine hub service task: remove the axle and endcaps, slide out the old freehub, fit the replacement, and reassemble. Basic tools like hex keys and a torque wrench are usually sufficient. If you’re unfamiliar with hub rebuilds, a bike mechanic can complete the job quickly.
How do I maintain the freehub for long life?
Keep mating surfaces clean and lightly greased during reassembly, inspect pawls and hub bearings for wear, and replace seals or bearings as needed. Avoid over-greasing pawl engagement areas to prevent sluggish engagement.
Is this the original equipment freehub for MTH-746 hubs?
Yes — this is the wheel freehub kit for the MTH-746 (SRAM Model ID HU-SPP-A0), matching SRAM’s OE specification and part number 11.2018.026.001.
What are the shipping size and weight of this part?
The item ships in compact packaging sized 3.3" x 2.2" x 1.25" with a listed weight of 0.2 lb — ideal for keeping as a lightweight spare in your toolbox or travel kit.
Buying Guide
When buying a freehub body, first verify your hub model and cassette interface. The MTH-746 freehub comes in two spline variants — SRAM XD for modern 11/12-speed SRAM cassettes and Shimano 9/10-speed for legacy splined cassettes. Match the spline type to your cassette; the wrong variant will not seat or secure your cassette correctly. Also consider service history: replace the freehub if splines show heavy wear, engagement is inconsistent, or if you hear irregular noises from the hub. Keep basic tools on hand and a small tube of quality grease for installation; for peace of mind, have a professional tech set correct endplay and torque values.
