I've got some Mavic Cosmos wheels that I bought second hand, they must be about five years old. I've just noticed a bit of play in the bearings on the back. I think I need a special tool to adjust these (which I don't have).
The adjusty bit has six holes arranged in a circle concentric with the axle, so I imagine it's some kind on pin-spanner that I need.
Does anyone know where I can get one?
A small rant; coming home from a pleasant ride today, minding my own business in a cycle lane and I'm very nearly wiped out by a twerp in a 4x4 towing a caravan. He allowed the bare-minimum passing space for his 4x4, but didn't allow for the caravan being considerably wider (or didn't care). Consequently I found myself brushing the caravan for a split second.
Naturally I indicated 2 out of ten for driving skills when I could see his mirror through the back window of the caravan. The amusing thing was the very wide margin all the cars stuck behind him gave me as they passed.

I'm so far out of touch with modern stuff that I'm probably totally wrong, but my old Mavic hubs have a similar cover over the bearings - there's no adjustment, you just pop the old bearings out and stick some new ones in.

At this point you deployed the spikes in your pedals/handlebars and the caravan isn't so shiny any more ... we can dream, can't we?
