Re: Removing tread from colson wheels

You aren't going to be able to effectively remove the hub, boring it out is the only option if you really need the colson tread.

As an alternative to the colson tread, vexpro sells "traction tires" for their traction wheels. These offer similartraction and non marking characteristics and allow you to relatively easily design and make your own hubs (assuming you have a CNC or the wheels are loaded low enough to 3d print).
