Mavic Ksyrium SL Front Wheel Bearing Change

[@rodriguezahr]

Thanks for this video. I got this hub and it’s been flawless for 15 years ! Today I heard for the first time some light squeaks whetting the wheel, will try to grease it.

[@DurianriderCyclingTips]

Good tip mate. Still a good wheel in 2023! Freehub pawl is easy to service now.

Impressive, informative video! Thanks for posting!

I would opt for a large diameter brass drift for driving the bearing from inside. In the states autoparts shops sell a 3 size set for around $25

[@betterpreparedness5167]

Thanks! I've thought of buying a bearing-puller kit given the occasional bearing replacement on various things. I assume a bearing-puller would be even more suitable than the hammer and punch for popping out the used bearings?

[@Seiskid]

Brilliant. Super helpful. Thanks.

Hi there thanks for the video. I've serviced my Ksyrium ES wheels as well. But it keeps loosening up any time I ride. E.g i have to check it out before leaving home and check it again when i arrive at the starting point to do the club ride. One thing I've noticed in this video which is different with the other one I saw, is that you are using an L-key on the other side of the axle. That's something I didn't do. The other video told us to hold the axle with a cloth and players. Maybe that's the problem it keeps opening after every km I ride? Cuz checking every time to is if it's loosen drives me crazy. 😂. Thankx in advance. Greetings from Curaçao 🇨🇼🙋🏽‍♂️

Are the steps the same for a rear wheel? Also which bearings do you recommend? Steel or ceramic?

[@jesseladd6864]

Steel. Ceramic has INSANELY marginal gains at speeds that cyclists ride at. Even smaller for regulars like ourself. Ceramic is more fragile to the elements as well.

[@Marc_B.]

I bought ceramic before reading this, and have yet to install. I guess I'll see how they last, they were about $18 for the pair.@@jesseladd6864

[@jackiechan8840]

Are all Mavic ksyrium wheels the same bearing size?

[@edlopez3165]

Hello, Can i do this with the rest of the wheel intact? Thanks Ed.

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@aldrinclementina4297]

Yes it can be done. I did it without taking the hub of the entire wheels.

What bearings does it have? What is the reference? Some have the reference recorded if you could tell me.
