Hi everyone, next week I plan to install a Shimano 11 speed hub instead of the Campy one in my Farsport Kaze wheelset.

Took a look at YouTube but didn’t find any video that could help me in this operation.

Does anyone have a technical sheet from Bitex?

I believe most of the Bitex hubs work the same way, 5mm cap holding each side, you want to remove the freehub cap, if the other cap loosen first, then you can use a bigger hex to hold the axle, then loosen the freehub side cap.

Then the freehub just comes out, you may have to rotote a little during remove or install to line up the pawls.

Bitex hubs are really easy and straightforward to take apart.
