Hi did you ever solve the problem. I too have maxic Crossmax wheels my front is noisy - works OK etc but I cannot fathom out how to get inside it just to re greese. By the way AUKLAND - I was in NZ last summer for 5 weeks north & south GREAT. We stayed in the north on Thornton bay near Wakatany. Coming back in 2010 can you tell me of good bike hire shops I currently ride a giant VT1 5" travel, live in Spain & into exteam XC. SIMON
