MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I have had a set of EX1501 wheels since 2016. I destroyed my rear rim in La Thuille a couple of weeks back and I've just cut the spokes out to find the hub body seems to have split into two pieces. Can anyone confirm if the left and ride side of the hub body is meant to be bonded together?
Pics or it didn't happen...

Hope this works!
Yes thats a spline 1 hub and they were indeed bonded together.
Christ, good going!
Defo f##ked.
Cool, never seen that one before! If it was bonded then probably you could reattach it but...
Newer ones are one piece - speak to TF Tuned (warranty and service for DT) - they may be able to sell a new shell?
Could reglue but getting it properly aligned might be a challenge.
I will try TF Tuned. Not the sort of failure I would really expect, maybe not bonded properly at the point of manufacture.
This also happened to my rear hub on the same wheelset. Refused warranty as a few days past the 2 year period. Poor quality hub design imho. Not impressed with their response as others had reported this issue.
Were you offered a hub body replacement at some sort of discount? It is clearly a manufacturing issue and probably why they now make them out of a single billet.
No not offered a bean
I wonder how long it was like that - being held together by the spokes
Guess you might never know without removing the rim
Maybe all our hubs shells are snapped?

I snapped a Hope rear axle so the only thing holding it together was the QR skewer. Only symptom was it started dropping the chain occasionally because the free-hub would jam momentarily, still rode fine. After that ride I took the wheel out and the cassette fell off. If the chain hadn't fallen off I'd probably still be riding now!
I'm tempted to just bond it back together.

I certainly would. Can't have mattered much that it was debonded if you didn't notice till you cut the spokes. (I'm assuming you hadn't noticed any gear indexing issues.)
