I switched the bearings, axle etc already. Now the hub is perfectly straight but the disc isn’t… am I cooked?
Any idea on how to get the hub out? Again: unknown manufacturer 🙁
Does anyone can tell me something about who build this or what parts (especially the hub) are used?

He’s dead Jim.

You have to re-tension the carbon fiber threads.
Damn bro. That wheel is cooked.
Originally I thought that was a fairing but no, foam core at the valve stem. The disk has suffered a catastrophic failure at the bond between carbon fibre and the core, or between epoxy and the fibres. No longer save to ride.
Non-disk brake disc tubular wheels aren’t terribly expensive anymore so you should be able find a replacement if required. As I have before, I suspect this was used on a fixie and people were skidding on it, leading to the failure.

Needs some truing
Unfortunately you don’t know who made this. Generally you can send these back to the manufacturer and they can reposition and re epoxy the hub back in. The disc and the hub have delaminated and have to be reinstalled. You could call a wheel manufacturer that makes disc wheels and see if you can pay them to fix it?
