Bought some new wheels a couple of months back. Had issues fitting anew cassette with expander to the free gun, seems its a little bit shorter and doesn't like the multiple split sprocket set combo with an expansion ring. So ordered a praxis wide range cassette which fits nicely and looks pretty cool.
the trouble now is that I hadn't even realised the rear was set up 135mm until I ride to fit the wheel and it's not reaching the dropouts. No biggy I remembered the wheels came with a large selection of end caps, valves and tools. Found the correct end caps so let's just take out the existing ones and swap them over.
The none drive side came out easy enough, the drive side one is stuck solid, I've been pulling at it with various types pliers for nearly an hour and the bugger turns but would budge a smidgen of a mm. Really peed off as I've ridden the bike for a while owing to it being I the lbs for a dropper warranty issue and thought switching out the wheels, caste and chain would be an half hour job, everything went smoothly and what should have been the easy bit is doing my head in.
yes the cassette has been removed whilst I'm trying to remove the end cap. The free hub won't come off with the cap in place and I don't want to force the hub and potentially ruin the bearings.
