    Is the freehub broken?

    I dunno thats prob the problem alright, would it be better to get a new wheel or just fix it?

    You'll need to be more specific. Are the cranks still turning? Is the chain still moving normally? is the cassette turning?

    Ya crank chain & cassette all fine looks like the freehub gone, as its just spinning without turning wheel. Bike has standard Bontrager wheels at the mo, any recommendation what to put on?

    If the wheel is ok all you need is either to repair the pawls inside the freehub or else get a replacement freehub. A good bike shop who deal with racing bikes should be able to sort you out. A repair should not be very expensive.

    Where are you based ?
