Hi! (In advance; sorry for my bad English, I'm from Norway).
There is probably some posts about this already, but I haven't had the luck of finding them.
Recently bought me a pair of first generation ceramic Mavic Crossmax wheels. The front wheel is perfect, but the rear wheel has a rather slow freehub, and it has some rattle in the axle on the drive side. I suspect it is a worn out bearing.
My problem, though, is that I can't seem to get the hub apart. On newer Mavic rear hubs, you just pop out the end cap on the non-drive side, put a 10mm allen key in there, put a 5mm allen key in on the drive side, and it comes apart.
On this hub, the end cap on the non-drive side of the axle is threaded, and the inside of the axle is round. There is no allen key mount(?). How do I take it apart? Do I put the axle on the non-drive side in a vice, and use a 5mm allen key on the drive side?
Cheers,
Bjørn
