The ratchet system mechanism is easy to remove and reassembly. Remove the two discs, springs and spacers. Make a note of the order of these items. 

The ratchet system must be installed in the correct sequence. Ensure the springs are oriented correctly and seated appropriately. The ratchet rings must be engaged into the corresponding teeth inside the hub.

H-Works hubs are designed to be able to accommodate metallic and carbon spokes. Where possible, the spoke holes within the hub are designed to fully encompass the spoke end such that the spoke will be retained in the event of a fracture or loss of tension. The maximum permissible constant spoke tension is 200kgf (1765N). The hubs will contain loads in excess of this value during short events but repeated overstressing of the hubs can lead to cracks forming and subsequently propogating. A tension of 170kgf during wheel building is recommended.

CAUTION: Spoke Tensions that vary across the wheel can influence the fit of the corresponding bearing, deviations should be less than 5%.

H-Works hubs have bearing of difference sizes and from different brands. 

Caution: Non-contacting seals are not suitable for general riding. They can be used in racing applications, but they require frequent maintenance and grease lubrication after every ride.

By adhering to the recommended maintenance intervals and performing these checks based on your riding conditions, you can ensure that your hubs operate efficiently, minimise the risk of failure, and extend the lifespan of your bicycle’s wheel system. 

The table left provides a comprehensive maintenance schedule to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your bicycle hubs. Each task is associated with a specific interval based on operational conditions and riding intensity. Regular maintenance is crucial for preventing premature wear, ensuring smooth functionality, and enhancing overall safety.
