Hello everybody,
Just thought i would share the small tutorial clip i made about sleeving the inside of the rear Roval/Formula hub of my 2019 base model Levo.
Since one of the bearings needed replacement( was feeling rough) i went ahead and ordered 2 NTN new ones(since the XERO ones felt "cheap"). While searching for info as to what bearings i needed i came across a post from a user over here that was suggesting to put a small sleeve/tube(53mm wide, 17mm inner diameter and 21.5 mm outer diameter aluminium tube/sleeve) inside of the hub between the bearings as the the axial force applied to the bearings, while tightening the axle enough as to get rid of any play would put pressure on the inner races of the bearings pushing them towards the inside, leading to the shortening of their lifespan.
So i took matter into my own hands to do this fix for myself, "documenting" the process along with it.
Hope it's helpful for others!
