Righty, I bought some I9 wheels on Saturday, race on them on Sunday and now they're buggered. Bearings in the rear are VERY crunchy so I'm thinking a bearing swap is needed. I've found the bearings needed (£50 the pair!) but I'm unsure as to how to get the wheels apart.
Any ideas?

Sounds like a warranty job, I've been running mine for over a year and the only maintenance they've had is a spoke re-tension after the first few rides. Can't help on hub maintenance though so sorry but I remember i9 answering some questions I had pre-purchase pretty quickly, hopefully they're as helpful with providing tech help...
Yes and which bearing was it for £50? That sounds very expensive.
Cheers dizcostix - much appreciated
Cool beans - under normal circumstances I'd agree on the warranty thing, but they were fully submerged a couple of times yesterday so I'm not surprised they've developed some 'crunch'. Should have raced on my other wheels really....
Ignore the bearing bit - I'm talking utter sh1te....
BTW what do you think of the i9's?
