bearing that I can remove but I can not figure out how to
remove the third that is located inside the cassette body.
Does this bearing actually come out? or is it a part of
the cassette?
If the bearing does not come out, is it possible to buy a
replacement cassette for this hub or is it going to be
impossible to find this part?
The bearing in the cassette mechanism isn't replaceable
(not to say it's impossible to do, but it's not made to
be); when it goes, you replace the mechanism (which is
available, for about $35, and generally, by the time that
bearing's gone, the guts of the mechanism probably aren't
in the greatest shape anyway). Any
TREK/Fisher/Lemond/Klein dealer can order it for you, if
they don't already have it in stock. It removes and
installs with a mondo-sized allen that you'd never use for
anything else (so I'd bring in the disassembled wheel and
let the shop quickly do that for you).

to have bearings replaced.
The front one does not seem to be a problem, as I am able
to remove both the cartridge bearings from the hub.

The wheel is still ridable, however the shifting is really
bad because the cassette is so loose due to this one
bearing being shot. It would be a shame to have junk the
wheel over this. The wheels came with my bike I bought new
in 2000, the rear one has 20 spokes and the front has 18.
If there was no way to fix the Rolf hub, I would like to
save the rim, however I do not think I get a 20 spoke hub.
Suggestion? Thanks for any input anyone can provide.
