I have a set of these wheels but the front wheel hub is damaged inside. I think it,s the bearings it feels very rough when you turn the axle. My question is how do you get the axle out to change the bearings. I,ve tried looking on the net for an answer but cant find anything. I thought they were advertised as a sealed hub unit. Does this mean you cannot take them apart. There are no cones on these hubs, if that helps.

    Dalkiia wheels were notoriously pants, well, they were amongst my clubmates anyhoo when a few had them and there were several fails. :(

    Sounds like you need a new hub.

    I thought as much. Thanks Nap D. My only problem is now i need to find a good wheelbuilder as i live in the Netherlands and dont really now of anybody here who i could trust to do it. On the other hand would i be able to send the rim to someone in the UK and get it done, would it be worthwhile, i dunno???
