Hello,
Just got a nice set of Roval CL50 wheels (disc brake) with DT Swiss 350 internals. They came with end caps that were for a QR skewer preinstalled. It was very easy to remove those end caps and replace them with the thru axle end caps that I needed. I could feel them snap into place but their wasn't really anything to "lock" them into place other then this snap I felt.
While I was doing this on the rear wheel, I had the end cap removed and noticed that I could easily slide off the freehub shell and expose the bearing assembly. Is this normal? On other sets of wheels I don't remember being able to remove the freehub shell that easily. It makes me think there should be some sort of a lock ring or part that my hubs were missing. Tonight I will try and take some quick pictures to show what I am working with.
I am hoping someone should be able to at least say if the freehub shell should easily come off or if a part needs to be loosened before the shell can be removed.
Thanks,
TB
