I went for paying more for the V12s over the V8s as I read they were serviceable. I didn't realise that meant serviceable only with a special and expensive tool! Presumably servicing a V8 is possible, if not officially.

Argh! Though apparently you can get it done with a 1/2” bolt, rather than the fancy tool.

Re: Cues. Some of them have the chainrings rivetted to the cranks, so it seems wasteful to me.
