Pretty straight forward. New batteries as well and... My unit is not pairing with my Garmin Edge 800 anymore!! I have the older axle model (where the magnet sits on the spacer), so I was wondering if it makes any difference to leave the magnet towards the drive or non-drive side...
I'm trying to remember - I think yes the battery does need to be the correct way around when you tape it back on. I might have done the same thing but it was some time ago now!
Which way round does the magnet go onto the axle? It attracts metal just the same both ways round. If however it's making contact with another magnet (inside the sealed part of the hub) then it probably will matter which way round it is. Kicking myself for not taking it off more carefully,
All went fine and thanks for the excellent video. Some comments that might come in handy for others. I bought a much cheaper bearing press set with a full range of bearing size adaptors. (cost about £39) It was fine but.. The hub drive side 6902 needs the bearing press to go over the axle. The hole in my cheaper kit was too narrow to do that. I got round it by finding a metal tube of the right diameter to do the pressing. A long spark plug socket of the right diameter did fine. I also removed the magnet from the axle and failed to note which way round it went. I didn't know if the polarity of the magnet mattered or not. I now know it doesnt, so don't worry about that. Thanks again Cycling Man.
Hi. Sending a bottle at sea. My red rubber ring (same as in your video) is broken. Any clue where to source one? Understand Cycleops has been bought by Sram, and powertaps are discontinued. Any help is appreciated. Thx.
hi great video. please could you clarify - video says"there are two 6902 bearings in the freehub body" link says freehub 2x6802. which is correct. thanks.
I have asked this to a few people online already but wanted to get your opinion. There is some very small but noticeable lateral movement in my G3 hub. When grabbing the rim I can move the wheel side to side. Some people have suggested replacing the end caps and others say to replace the bearings. I do not think it is the end caps. I removed the free hub and end caps so I could grab the axle with my fingers. The play in the axle was much smaller but still noticeable. One person told me they replaced the bearings and the end caps and still had lateral play in the wheel. So could it be a tolerance issue with the axle? I have seen some weird issues like this in the past with other wheels I have had but it was usually because the axle or bushing was too large which kept the wheel from spinning at all. Could the axle just be too small or worn out?
@@TheCyclingMan I had already completely replaced the freehub body. I did notice on the Powertap website that they replace the axle when doing the bearing service.

I have a G3 hub dating to 2015. Mine had two 6902 bearings in the freehub, and a 6902 and a 6802 in the main body.
Ok thanks for that - always worth double checking what comes out first!
Great video, but you just convinced me I'm better off sending it to the Service Center!
Good plan!

Thank. Very useful video.
Brilliant Жертва Неофеодалов - very glad it helped out!

Sorry I really can't remember and I don't have the wheels any more. IRRC I had to check and flip it around as needed.
@@TheCyclingMan Thanks very much for getting back to me. It's a 50:50! - as you say not the end of the world to knock the axle out again if needed.

SL+ hub, only doing the bearings on the axle and not the freehub, I needed one 15*24*5 and one 15*28*7.
Good to know thanks.

Thanks for noticing that mistake in the description. It's 6902 bearings in the freehub body. I've corrected the description.

Hi - most likely you just need to replace the bearings - possibly in the hub and freehub. Very unlikely to be the axle.
@@TheCyclingMan I had already completely replaced the freehub body. I did notice on the Powertap website that they replace the axle when doing the bearing service.
It is mostly the NDS 6802 bearing that wears fastest and creates the slop in the rear wheel.
Which Freehub Body design will be compatible with the assembly ?
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean?
@@TheCyclingMan Which free hub body we gonna use ...SRAM, Shimano etc ?
Hey hey, anyone know where I can find a spare "G3 15mm Axle"? Managed to snap mine doing sprint training.
I would check with Powertap - www.cyclepowermeters.com in the uk.
I bought it from a servicecenter for powertap in Chez or some other country close to that.
Do you know the size of the magnet?
Sorry I don't have these wheels any more to check. I'm not sure the magnet would have to be the exact same size.
