Marc,

The majority of Maillard hubs were freewheel hubs, not helicomatic. Yes, the beer bottle opener is only for the helicomatic hubs. I have run heliocomatic hubs for years on a Peugeot PSN10, and have never broken a spoke either. They can make a funny sound compared to Regina or even Maillard freewheel hubs, but I think that's normal (I hope!).
