[Rickrod3]

Looked it up on the parts finder and I was supprised to learn its name was Clutch hub.

I would think it would be wheel gear or somthing like that.

What I would like to ask is it particularly difficult to remove. Does anyone have any tips on removal.

I'm converting for tube type rims and need to reuse the clutch hub.

TIA
Rick

Sorry, I've ne er removed one personally so I don't know how much help I will be there... What is your plan for going tubless? The reason I ask is I just converted my rear tube rim to tubless.... just tapped the two through holes for the bead lock bolts and put a 3/8-16 set screw in with a whole bunch of JB Weld. Presto! Tubless rim. There are others who have done the same thing. And, don't worry its been field tested and haven't had any problems. Got 1500 miles on mine now...

In addition, crazy steve has both rim types, and has done a direct compare, and while there actually ARE differences in the shape of the bead area and such on the front rims, the rear are the exact same castings without the bead lock holes, so it is indeed only that you need to seal the bead lock holes. Some have used them for additional valve stems , but most have just put something in there to seal, using something to seal and lock the screw in place (generally loctite).

Here's one way to plug the bead-lock holes.... http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32340

As far as swapping hubs, just undo the nuts on the rotor side of the wheel and tap it out. They will get a bit rusty sometimes and need a small bit of 'persuasion'....

I appreciate that others have converted tube type rims to tubless without any problems. I however opted to get some tubless rims. They weren't too expensive $100.00 for both with shipping.

It is giving me an opportunity to paint them, replace tires and bearings while I still ride and when I'm all done I can just swap them out with little down time.

Being a plumber that tip is right up my alley.

Thanks Steve
