Well, we were discussing bike maintenance in the pub on Monday and I suggested with bravado that anything could really be stripped down and rebuilt without any fear of doing any damage. Muzzy said "what about Campag freehubs?" They're OK - said I.
OK, so last night I went to strip down my Centaur rear hub.......maybe Muzzy had a point!
Has anyone done this? The axle unscrews into segments then there's a nylon adjuster pushing down onto what looks like sealed bearings. Presumably these would have to be "drifted" out with a tool? I looked it up on www.campagnolo.com and they helpfully suggested I take it to a qualified mechanic.
Has anybody got any experience to share of this job?
