Easy to install
I purchased this as an essential item to facilitate swapping my group set from Campag to Shimano. It took me a minute or two to find some fine garden wire to gently wrap around the ratchets to hold them in while sliding the new free-hub onto the splines of my Fulcrum 5 wheel, but swapping the hubs over was pretty straight forward. Very pleased with the result; am now running on silky smooth Shimano 11 speed.
It was a little pricey, when stacked up against the Shimano 105 group set components (hence only 4 stars), but must-needs.

NOT for 2014 Racing 5s and 7s
Bought as a replacement for my Fulcrum Racing 5's (2014) as the title suggests, but in fact does not fit and is only for the Racing 5 Evos. Pretty annoying when it means I miss out on more of this perfect weather.
If looking for a 2014 Racing 5 freehub body replacement, another website says that the freehub for the "Racing Zero, Racing 1, Racing 3 and all XLR wheels" also fits the 2014 Racing 5s and 7s, and upon ordering is in fact true.
Other than being misled by the title, these freehubs are super easy to install; just remove the old one, clean and re-grease the teeth on the ratchet ring, slide in the new one, and secure. A 5 minute job, simple as that. Plenty of info on the fulcrum website for instructions.
Other than being expensive, nothing wrong with the actual product. A spare cassette spacer and spacer for the freehub is also supplied. Just make sure to get the correct version for Shimano/SRAM or Campag

Piece of cake to install. Does what it's supposed to, nothing else to say really.

Does the job
This seems nicely made. It's the only bit that converts Campagnolo wheels to Shimano drive trains (that I could find) and so useful in that regard. It's heavier than the Campagnolo freehub body I removed is the only negative I'd give it. Oh, and be careful putting it in place as it's easy to bend the pawl spring if the pawls are not properly seated.

Great for adapting
This is apparently the only item capable of adapting my Fulcrum 7 wheels to a 9-speed Shimano cassette. My LBS had no trouble installing it, and it works perfectly. A little pricey for what it does, though.
