Hi all.
As in subject.
Got myself second hand, but in nice condition ksyrium elites wheels. Need to service, but not sure which tools do I need. So far figured out that obviously Shimano mineral oil required, but not sure about the rest.Don't want to by wrong tools .
There is also one tool seem to be required for the caps on freehub. Could anyone advice what is all about please?
The tool is for sale here:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/x-tools-pro-mav ... -wrench-1/
It's a 4 prong version. Do I need it?
Wheels are here:

https://flic.kr/p/Y9WH3i
https://flic.kr/p/X8U1AB
Btw do you know which year are they?
Many thanks in advance everyone.

And 2005 for some maintenance as detailed in 2009 page 7.

Seems like a lot of faff and some special tools.0 -
It's dead easy. You need
- Cassette removal tool (like this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/x-tools-pro-cas ... -one-size/)
- Chain whip
- 5mm Allen Key x2
- Adjustable spanner (can't remember size of the nut)
- Mineral Oil (Johnson's baby oil does the trick)
Take off cassette,
remove freehub nut,
remove freehub,
remove pawls (don't lose springs)
clean everything
stick a couple of drops of baby oil on the bit the freehub sits on
rebuild.0 -

Duff link. Assume that's the cassette removal tool? It's for removing the cassette...

That's a spoke tool, if you don't know how they work it's a bit of a recipe for disaster. Are the wheels true?0 -

Bach. Not going there. Wheels are pretty true. No need to play with.
