I have a set of Ksyrium SSC wheels on my road bike, they are about 6 months. And I was wondering if there is anything I should be doing anything to them? They still are true and turn great no problems, and I would like to keep it that way.

Kev; Wow, awesome wheels! The literature states that they come with their own special adjustment tool and spoke wrench. And they have adjustable, removable, sealed cartridge bearings. Sounds like you just have to watch for issues with bearing play and otherwise enjoy!

Here are some rants and raves on the aforesaid wheels. It’s always nice to see what other folks are experiencing with the same piece of equipment. Cheers;

Yeah they have these weird spoke tools, to keep the blades in place while you adjust the tension on the spokes. They have been a great set wheels so far. I would recomend them to anyone looking for a set of wheels. A bit expensive, but I figured I don't get a new bike every week so might as well do it right the first time.
