Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I bought a set of Elitewheels and they came with this orange cap. I tried to take the cap off but took off a whole piece and now shows the bearing naked… it’s my rear wheel. Is this normal? by Specialist-Bat8808 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

SacredC0w on September 29, 2025 7:22 pm Probably normal. My Rolf wheelset is similar to this, but some end caps press in, some float, some are threaded, etc…

barff on September 29, 2025 7:37 pm Elitewheels even have ‘warning’ about this on their ali product page. Just remove the orange cap and put end cap back on.

Normal. Push till it clicks and locks in place.
