minus-squareEddoWagt@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up18·10 months agoI recently did my yearly service of filling the tires, I’ve literally never opened up the wheel hub of a bicycle in my entire life
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 months agoI have had my frame about 16 years, when i repacked crank bearings I also cleaned and repacked wheel bearings. You have to do in an area where you can track down a lost ball, but they run nice with some lithium grease.
