• Odd. Fulcrum with that preload ring tend to have cartridge bearings, and they disassemble easily enough (usually: use cone spanners on lock nuts, remove preload nut, remove cone/nut with a bearing seat, whack the axle out with a mallet). Keep the old bearings and use them to press in the new bearings, just don’t forget to reinsert axle if it’s a stepped axle fitted between the bearings.

  • Yeah, they're cartridge.

    I was on the roadside so only tried fully undoing the lockring, didn't note any spanner flats, I'll have a look when we unpack the carnage.

    I'll only replace the bearings if I already have the spares for it. If not, I'm sending the missus down to the LBS with it.
