Miche rear hub cups replaceable?

In article said:

I have come by some wheels with Miche hubs. One rear cup is damaged. It looks like the cup is a
separate part pressed into the hub. Is the cup in fact replaceable? Where could replacement cups be
obtained? How are the old cups removed?

I think your only chance is if an old Campy bearing cup will work in that hub. Rebuilding the wheel
with a new cassette hub would be a much better use of time in my opinion.

The cassette lockring has a different pattern from the Park BBT-5 removal tool I expected would
work. The lockring splines are rounded, not square. I'm thinking that may be a Shimano lockring on
there. Is that possible? Is it something else?

Are you sure it's a cassette? I would assume you're looking at the splines of a freewheel and not
a lockring.

Many Miche products interchange with Campagnolo small parts. Your competent LBS may be able to
measure the cup in situ and compare with a Campagnolo one. Replacing hub cups is a job best left to
your LBS IMHO unless you are familiar with removing/setting small bearings or other similar stuff
and you're handy in tool fabrication. The spline is most likely the same as Shimano's freewheel
which is also Campagnolo's cassette lockring format. Again a quick ride to the a competent
neighborhood bike shop could answer that easily.

For so many things like your problem, a guy with several parts in front of him/her and a caliper is
way ahead of us ( who cannot see your hub. . . )
