Do I need any unusual tools, other than what would be used on most other brands of hubs, to rebuild this Mavic hub set..?

Mavic wheelset hubs are usually sealed cartridge type. Not sure what you mean by "other brand of hubs". These are different from the standard cup & cone hubs,

Mavic's web site has some tech docs for more recent models.

Do you know year & model of your wheels?

Actually, I was just out to the lake cottage to seek out the serial number on the Marinoni. No luck with that so, the short answer is no - I don't know what year the bike or the wheels are.

Other brands of hubs means Campy, Suze, Shimano - in other words, just ordinary hubs that I can service with the tools that I have. A You Tube video suggested that I need a special lubricator for a rebuild. Just want to know where to leap before I jump.

I was told by the lady that I got the bike from that it had been completely tuned up just before she put it back on the road after many years of storage. I checked with the shop and the mechanic confirmed here claim. That said, I am still not sure and to be sure, I intend to do the work myself.

Based on your pics, looks similar to a Mavic wheelset on my early 2000's bike. Not sure how much servicing can really be done to the hub with sealed cartridges. Pulling the cartridge would require Mavic's tool or a suitable substitute.

Tried to upload a link of the manual from 2002. If link doesn't work, do a search for: mavic ksyrium elite 2002 manual pdf. This has some diagrams, instructions and Mavic tools for wheels of that year.

Hope that this helps.

Very helpful and thank you for the link. Works just fine and, to be honest, the hubs feel and roll like butter "as found". Now all I need to do is figure out what year my bike was made in...

Most of the Ksyrium wheels have a large-diameter plastic bushing in the freehub body that requires periodic oiling to prevent hub body wear and the dreaded screech.

Disassembly is easy using two 5mm Allen keys to pull apart the axle assembly after pulling out one of the end caps to access the internal 5mm hex.
Don't lose track of the thin washer inside of the freehub body, it's easy to lose sight of since it usually sticks to the oil film against the bearing.

Several drops of light mineral oil are used to lubricate the pawls and bushing, no grease inside of the freehub body!

Earlier Helium wheels and perhaps some Ksyriums have a superior large-diameter thin bearing in place of the bushing, but the pawls still need periodic cleaning, inspection and lubrication.

Again, thanks for the heads up on this aspect of the wheel maintenance. That was the one thing that had me puzzled when I was viewing a You Tube how to do it clip. Looking forward to a bit of "hands on" learning when I get out to the lake cottage, where I can actually work on my bikes.

The biggest thing is there are proprietary plastic wrenches that adjust the hubs, just like the Mavic freewheel hubs use.
