If nothing else I will polish that surface as well as possible and run it.

Grease it and run it. Yeah, that's what she said!

My bike has new, sealed-bearing wheels. This is the cheapo set that came on the bike. I'm trying to salvage them and mount my winter, studded tires on them so I can just do a wheel set swap out instead of having to change tires on rims.
Can I swap the freehub?
If so, how do I get the correct one?
