Thx for the vid....I was looking for info about replacing the bearings. My 6-ish year old Crossmax SL's (Disk) bearings are starting to feel a little rough. Q.-does Excel have tool for pressing out bearings for sale or recommended sub

Q2-seal that goes between the freehub and the hub....1st time I took it off, I forgot orientation...I've yet to find good pic showing correctly, and so far none of the vids I have found show. Any help? I service every 3-6 months...me thinks this could be why?

@actennery We do have the tools to replace bearings, give us a call and ask for Jody, he is our head mechanic and will talk you through how the seal goes on.

You mentioned Loctite, you're not referring to thread locking compound are you?

[ExcelSportsBoulder]

@Kahuczech From the factory you will see a drop of loctite or thread locking compound on the axle. We just clean off that and replace it with a fresh drop.

Do anybody know of a video that shows how to change the bearings for Ksyrium elite wheels? Appreciate thanks

[ExcelSportsBoulder]

@Ynot1030 I don't know of a video for you, but feel free to give a call, our shop guys can let you know what goes into the install and removal process of bearings.

@enashs94 i have the same problem like yours the front wheelhub has a little side play i've ridden it for around 200 kilometers tightened it but it goes back again..

im not really used to that because i've been using shimano hubs for a long time without that problem.

one of my riding buddy is using kysrium sl too, he said its normal??



[enashs94]

I have a Ksyrium SL Wheel that only has 150 miles on it and the freehub body already has side to side play. I know these freehubs have a plastic bushing that wears out, there is no way it needs to be replaced???

I disassembled the freehub and reassembled using 6nm to tighten the freehub body, but still have play in the hub. What to do here?
