Does anyone have a link or can advise me on how to service Bontranger hubs please??
Just can't see how to break into them the pesky mites 🙁
the ones on my races x lites just pull apart,the caps just pull off the axle
Depends what hubs You have. I've got race lite disc wheels and getting to clean and lube it is very easy and the hub pulls apart as well. Not much I was able to do withouth a bearing remover but even less You can do on the ones running the Hugi ratchet system (Race X Lite) as You need a special tool to get to the bearings behind the ratchet.
yeah i forgot the hugi hubs need a special tool, luckly i have one so im ok on that one
I've got Bonty Rhythem elite wheels if that helps??
Off a Trek Fuel 9 I think
It seems the hubs might be similar to the ones on my Race Lites as there is nothing mentioned about the star ratchet system. I think that the hubs are just rebranded DT Swiss Onyx hubs and You can look at the DT Swiss website for manuals. Again should be easy to pull off the freehub body, unscrew the end caps, than take the freehub body off, again without a bearing puller You will be only able to clean and lube the pawls but sometimes it's enough to make the wheels sound and work as good as new.
[edit] There might be a guide on the Park Tool website but not 100% sure now [edit]
cheers for the advice will have a go and follow the DT Swiss instructions with my laptop on the bench 😉
