Hi I just bought some a pair of Easton Havens. I can't seem to remove the end caps so I can use larger axles than the skewer axles they gave me. Any one have any experience or know how? I'm a little reserved to excess forces because they're pricey wheels. thanks for any recs.

    are you sure they are switchable? there is nothing on their webby about it.

    talk to the seller.

    but if they are they just look threaded

    diferent Easton hub (Havoc) as the Havens are not mentioned (M1 hub should be the same?).

    They use 18 & 19 mm cone spanners to unscrew the end caps.
