Anyone tried to change the bearings on this hub? What a garbage design.
The cassette side bearing is behind the toothed ring the freehub pawls drive, so it needs to be unscrewed from the hub before you can access the bearing. This is something thats had months/years of drive + epower tightening it into the hub.
The bearing wont come through it by literally the thickness of a piece of paper.
The 3 shops ive spoke to so far have refused the job as they say its so difficult.
Luckily its a spare wheel so Im not out of action, just annoyed how someone thought this was a good idea when they designed it.
