spinergy hubs

Any one have any advice on changing the cartridge bearings that are in my REV-X wheels. I imagine that the have to be pressed out but I don't want to stress any of the carbon that surrounds the aluminum core of the hubs. I have removed all of the retaining rings. Now what?

will be posting info in a bit. am a bit busy right now.

*edit* whatever you do, DO NOT remove the freehub.

retainer rings = really old Rev-X's.

Bearings are R-8 cartridge bearings.

There are cartridge bearing replacement tools - most shops will have some version of them (for other wheels or whatever). Just don't use the carbon part of the wheel to support the wheel when you tap out the bearings.

freehub **IMPORTANT** the freehub is actually used to help true the wheel. Freehub bodies aren't quite round and neither are the hubs. So the freehub is aligned at the factory.

If you must remove the freehub do not let it spin (tape it?). Also, mark where it lines up so you can put it back on in the exact same orientation as it was before you removed it.

That's about it. Spinergy doesn't support the wheel anymore so you'll have to find a local guru if you need help with this.

hope this helps

You are right, they are old. I only will use them for a couple of time trials each year. Thanks for the advice.
