Removing rear Hugi 240(road) bearings from rotor
Hi there
I'm trying to replace the sealed cartridge bearings in my Hugi 240 road rear hub (rolf vector pro gold wheel set). However I can't seem to remove the 2 bearing catridges that are inside the rotor. The rotor is a gold colour (does that mean it's a problem "version 1" 240 hub?). I have removed the seal on the outer end of the rotor and tried using a correctly-sized socket and hammer to hit the inner catridge. I was hoping this would force the inner cartridge, spacer and outer cartridge out. However, no matter how hard I hit it, it doesn't budge. Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? And while I'm asking: Since my rotor "cassette splines" seem pretty worn, does anyone know if I can simply replace the entire rotor (including 2 sets of sealed bearings) with a new one? Must I get these from DT and any idea how much it is? If I keep the current rotor, what spec bearings should I replace the current ones with? Many thanks Henty -- hentyw @ innoforge.com (remove the spaces) |

Removing rear Hugi 240(road) bearings from rotor
In answer to my own question:
First of all, what DT terms a "rotor" most people will call a freewheel body or shell. It's the bit that the cassette fits onto. The 2 bearings are seperated by a spacer which can be moved flush against the inside wall of the rotor. This will allow access to a very well hidden and undocumented circlip (sp?) that keeps the bearing catridges in place. Remove the circlip (easier said than done) and the bearing catridges can be removed with a socket and hammer.
