Gipiemme tecno 416 freehub replacement

[nickson]

I bought a pair of Gipiemme Tecno 416 wheels. There was a noise coming from the rear hub’s freehub body. Due to its age, the thread is damaged, and I need to replace the freehub. I managed to remove it from the hub (for those who want to do this: use a 14 mm Allen key from the non-drive side).






Now I’m looking for a new freehub. The hub has 10 splines. The diameter of the freehub’s threaded part is 15 mm, and the length is 20 mm. The original freehub was for an HG cassette.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

years a go i took apart mine when it was making a squeak and had a bit of play. I searched high and low and came to the conclusion Gipiemme really cheaped out on the freehub and used a joy/joytech/quando design of hub. I speak italian so i contacted Gipiemme and got no help. Really its best to consider rebuilding the wheel. I also looked for Gipiemme Grecal Parade hubs to no avail. You could use a 32h hub and skip holes and the flange sizes were pretty consistent in the 90s so it may be possible to re-use spokes. The original spokes were DT Swiss New Aero. When i looked inside the rim it appeared they used small square washers and nuts as opposed to nipples.

certainly looks like a quando freehub.
could you take some accurate measurements and I'll measure the one I've got sat on a shelf to see how close they are?
