Cone wrench for freehub body?
The new rear wheel was supposed to have the usual 10mm Allen inside to
remove the freehub. Said the dealer. However, when I lubed the bearings I saw none of that, just a much bore hole with wide long splines deep down in there (of course I forgot to snap a photo ...). I wrote to the dealer and now they say I'd need "some specific sized cone wrench". Could not find much on the Internet and I wouln't know how a cone wrench could possibly be used. Does anyone know of an alternate mounting system versus the usual 10mm hex? If so, can that still take Shimano freehubs? The main raason I ask is that freehubs only last 5000-10000mi with me. Lots of hills, heavy loads. Having to throw out the whole rear wheel would be sad. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
