So I ordered a campy body from PX to convert my shim/sram wheel.

It came. Now what?

Thanks.

yeah, just pull.
wheels with freehubs like that are GREAT for wheelcovers.

Does that mean it can just fall off anytime?

Many use a large allen screw to hold them on…others have a special spline tool that works the same way. Though few are like that anymore. I don’t miss the days that every freewheel company (pre-freehub days) had its own spline scheme and you needed like a half dozen $15 tools in your kit just to work on bikes.

Usually held in place by QR on the bike :wink: And there isn’t much side to side force unless you like shifting under full power.
