Roval hub service


Headshot

Recommended Posts

Have some friends bikes I'm trying to ready - bikes have been laid up for 2 years after Covid kept them out of the country. They are both Epics and there is significant play in the Roval hubs - the ones in the picture. They are branded Roval but I believe have DT internals. How are they dismantled - there are no cone spanner slots - just what appears to be end pieces ( not caps like my wife's older DT hubs). How do I remove them to access the axle and presumably something to tighten to get rid of the play? Thx.

If they've got play, bearings are shot and you'll need a DT drive ring tool to replace them.

 

For freehub service the end caps and driver just pull off.

Thanks, owner is taking the bike to the shop. bearings feel a little rough but wouldn't have said they were so bad that there'd be that level of play at the axle.
