Just as the title implies. If someone has this document could you PM me or post a link?

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to Ritchey's "contact us" page on their web site. An e-mail or phone call should get what you want. : http://www.ritcheylogic.com/web/Ritchey~Logic/Ritchey~Site/web/EN/main/21795.html

Ritchey said they will not release this information, hence the question here.

That's an unpleasant surprise. If that's their attitude i think I'll avoid Ritchey components in the future.

Overhaul the freehub.

I'll hit him up tomorrow and let you know what I hear back from him. Might take a couple days but let me know if you haven't heard anything by mid next week. Are you asking about the new WCS hub or the older design?

Anybody else think it's funny that WheresWaldo posted and Waldo answered?

I gotta ask: is it a coincidence that Waldo is replying in WheresWaldo's thread? :D

Ah, mycoatl, you beat me to it!

How to remove a Ritchey freehub:

To remove the freehub, you are going to have to remove the cassette,then loosen the set screw spacer nut on the drive side, pop out the axel with a light tap of the mallet, (to the non drive side) then with a 12mm allen, go in from the non drive side and loosen the free hub. Ritchey offers a special 12mm Allen wrench to make re-installation easier. Please consult your dealer.

This information is of little or no value. I pretty much got the same answer from Ritchey direct. They said go to your dealer. Well truth be told, I don't want to go to my dealer. If I have to figure it out myself I will post complete instructions on how I did it with no help from Ritchey.

When I joined I did not even know Waldo existed. He is in IN and I am in NC. He seems to work for Zipp so must have some connections, I am hoping they can supply him the info so I can actually work on these wheels myself.

I know a guy. :D
Working on the whole connections thing, most of mine are from the old days in bike shops.
I didn't get a chance to email during work yesterday but will do so today. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything.
