FAT~DAN Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 if it is anything like a hope then theyre on threads and you cant do it yourself as they have a special tool that enables them to pull it out somehow teeth are the wrong way around to hit out with a hammer and screwdriver etc etc Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 OK Then cheers. I see where your coming from with it screwing in...and then when you pedal the pawls tighten it up. Does anyone know for certain if the profile hubs do this? I'll give profile a ring tomorrow and see if theyd do it for me aswell :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly C Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 If you mean the black cog, well the thing that holds it on.. It screws off, I know mine came loose one time.. My black cog is really really worn, I'll have to get a new one soon.. some of the teeth are like twisted 45 degree's :S" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so i dont mean that, and the lockring that held my cog on came loose before aswell, but i got loctite on it now. I'm talking about the ring inside the hub body (goldy coloured) that the pawls lock onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it might need replacing as the end of each EP is a bit rounded, from where the pawl has been rubbing on it when ridden. Compared to the part of the EPs thats not in contact with the pawls, its blunter. Although, i havent had any problems with skipping (apart from when i replaced the springs). Thanks Noz.
