Once is once to often. But for it to be well maintained, surely that means changing your tyres? And that means taking everything off your bike?
Sorry, I"m coming at this from a mechanics perspective. We get one of these in at least once a week, and they are a nightmare. Everything connects to the axle, so you literally have to take the stays for the mudguards and rack off to get at the wheel, not just the hub gear connector (I love hub gears, so they are forgiven. Although no one seems to have anything better than nexus).
