I'm servicing my Bora Ultra 2016 hubs. Already done with the rear hub.

I have serviced several cup and cone Campa hubs before, but especially the front hub looks a bit different.

How do I remove the dust cap?

In the meantime I found the solution. The end cap on the other side (where is tension ring is located) has to be removed. You'll have to block the axle with a wrench 14 mm. It's dead easy, if you know what to do :)

2016? Why so soon for the service? I took apart my Shimano C50 Dura Ace wheels after 6k miles and the internals looked better than new. I now have the Boras and am not planning on servicing them for a long time.

I have done quite a few kilometers with the wheels in crappy weather so I wanted to see how the bearings looked. They looked like new, so it wasn't really neccesary.

I see that you have the Ultra wheels. So the ball bearings and races are both ceramic? Got any pictures? I have the USB bearings and I assume only the ball bearings are ceramic. The races are steel.
