Nothing drives you nuts than a couple of grains of sand in an axle bearing or the bottom bracket.
Those Mavic's I mentioned early had a special pin spanner arrangement with press fit odd sized sealed bearings which were so hard to remove and find anywhere until a good supply of them was found under my nose at the local bearing specialist.
He even had sealed bearings for Cannondale sized rear swingarms and their 1 1/2in headsets.

Ah yes. Mavic and their “special” tools required to repair their unreliable products. Much like a particular French automaker and their products too.
