Just got my powertap hub upgraded from the older 12mm, to the newer 15mm axle.

I'm scratching my head over how to remove the freehub/axle since it apparently doesn't have the hex wrench broaching like the previous version. Matter of fact I don't see any flats for cone wrenches either...

Thanks in advance :)

ps. everything is fine with the hub right now, just want to know how to maintain it since the grease doesn't last long in the wet...

It says use a sharp tug... hmmmmm


EDIT: OMG... that's one crazy design:eek:. I hope it's sturdy.
