Easedon carbon wheel axle change help

[camineet]

Hi all,

Can someone advise me on what tool I need to remove this part of the wheel from the front wheel?

I bought this wheelset for my bike:

But the axle on the front wheel is 110mm and my frame dropouts are only 100mm. Any help would be much appreciated.

You can't just remove that part - it's necessary so the axle can clamp the bearings. The endcaps can usually just be pulled off, but I want to reiterate that you can't use the wheels with those caps missing.

It seems to me like you ordered a wheelset with 110x15(front) and 12x148(back) boost-spacing but you are using either a 100x15mm mtb (or possible even a 100x12mm road) fork+axle.
There might be conversion kits from boost to non-boost for those Goldix M240 hubs. If not, you'll have to change the hubs and rebuild the wheelset (or return it if you can).

Yep, I've definitely ordered a wheelset that as of yet is not compatible with my bike. The bike is a Cruzbike Q45. The back wheel fits fine in the bike's drivetrain side.

But this wheel with the problem goes on the back of the bike, and the dropouts there are only 100mm wide.

If someone can provide guidance on how to convert from boost to non-boost, that'd be great. I don't know what to look for or how to perform the procedure.

If no help is available here and if it's not possible for me to perform the work, I think I'm going to have to ask the local shop to rebuild the wheel for me because I discarded the box from Aliexpress and I think I'm pretty well past the return window anyway.

I've done some reading and it seems clear that I will have to have the wheel rebuilt. Hoping there aren't any other issues that make this setup impossible such as failure of the brake rotor to line up in the brake caliper.
