Hadley GT rear hub service

[d8mok]

I’ve got a Hadley GT rear hub which has small amounts of play in the bearings.

This is the proper Hadley version to clarify.

Does anyone have a service guide ?

It’s fairly easy to remove axle ends and freehub body but after that it’s not obvious.

Cheers

GT HADLEY REAR AXLE or REAR HUB FOR PARTING OUT

sadly a friends nice gt hadley wheelset is to be repaired since the rear ti axle broke :facepalm: so now we're desperately looking for either another axle (no matter whether ti or not) or a rear hadley hub (perhaps with broken flange) to take the axle from. what have you got?

Sort of looks very Hope xc in construction. If there are no threaded rings holding the bearings in place, it looks like a soft hammer jobby.

Yep that’s the hub

Can’t see anything holding the axle or bearings in place and I’ve given it a gentle tap with a rubber mallet but hesitant to whack it more unless I know how it comes apart.

 

[mdvineng]

If the bearings have been in there for some time, a bit more than gentle will be required.
A good close visual check should determine whether anything else is holding them in. If you can see the outer races of both bearings, then only friction is at work.

 

[d8mok]

I wondered from looking at that axle you linked if it only pushes out in one direction maybe?

 

[mdvineng]

If both outer races are visible, either end.
