Product Details

Overview & Technology

Genuine Zipp 188 11-speed freehub body engineered to restore flawless shifting and cassette engagement on Zipp 188-series road hubs. This replacement freehub matches Zipp's factory tolerances (Manufacturer Part #: 11.1918.007.000, Product #: 090784) and carries the SRAM Model ID HU-SPP-A0 for cross-reference. Built with a precision-machined alloy main body and a hardened steel driver interface, the freehub balances weight savings with long-term wear resistance. Bearings are supported by sealed interfaces to reduce contamination and maintain smooth rotation under road conditions.

Key Features

Durable, serviceable design: The freehub features a corrosion-resistant alloy housing mated to a hardened steel splined driver for reliable cassette engagement over many miles. Sealed bearing support helps keep grit out and reduces maintenance frequency. • Compatibility: Shimano 11-speed road cassettes and SRAM 11-speed systems • Fits: Zipp 188 hub family (v6, v7, v8, v9) — specifically listed for 188v8 • Axle type: Quick Release (QR) • Manufacturer part: 11.1918.007.000 — SRAM ID HU-SPP-A0

Fit & Compatibility

This freehub body is designed for Zipp 188-series road hubs and supports Shimano/SRAM 11-speed cassettes. It fits QR axle configurations; confirm your wheel is a Zipp 188 variant (v6–v9) before ordering. The listed variant is the 188v8 11sp freehub body and will physically replace the original on compatible hub shells. If you run an XD driver (SRAM eagle-style) or a non-standard axle (thru-axle), this part is not compatible. Always verify your hub model and axle type — if in doubt, check the hub stamping or contact Forest Bikes with your wheel serial number for confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this freehub work with my SRAM 11-speed cassette?

Yes — the Zipp 188 freehub body is compatible with both Shimano and SRAM 11-speed road cassettes. The part is cross-referenced as SRAM Model ID HU-SPP-A0, so it accepts standard 11-speed spline patterns used on road cassettes.

How do I know if my wheel needs a replacement freehub body?

Common signs include rough/freehub noise, skipping under load, excessive play at the cassette, or visible wear on the splines. If service (cleaning/grease) doesn’t restore smooth engagement, replacing the freehub body is the usual solution.

What tools are needed to replace this freehub body?

Most Zipp 188 freehub swaps require basic shop tools: axle removal tools for your QR system, a cassette lockring tool, and appropriate cone wrenches or hex keys depending on your hub’s axle hardware. Refer to Zipp’s hub service manual for exact torque specs and disassembly steps.

Is this compatible with thru-axle Zipp wheels?

No. This particular freehub body is intended for Zipp 188 hubs with a Quick Release (QR) axle. Thru-axle hubs or non-188 hub families require a different freehub body or adapter — verify your axle type before purchase.

Can I service the bearings on this freehub body?

Yes. The freehub design supports sealed bearing interfaces that can be serviced by an experienced mechanic. You can clean, grease, and replace bearings as needed, but bearings and driver parts should be replaced if they show pitting or significant wear.

What is the manufacturer part number and availability?

The manufacturer part number is 11.1918.007.000 and Forest Bikes lists it under Product Number 090784. Availability can vary — check stock on the product page or contact us if you need a backorder estimate.

Buying Guide

When buying a freehub body, prioritize fit and spline compatibility: ensure the part matches your hub family (Zipp 188) and cassette standard (Shimano/SRAM 11-speed). OEM replacements like this Zipp part maintain correct alignment, engagement geometry, and bearing spacing — critical for reliable shifting and wheel durability. Also consider the axle type and whether you want a spare on hand. For regular riders or mechanics, stocking a genuine replacement and basic hub-specific tools speeds repairs and reduces downtime during events or long rides.
