| May 5, 2022 at 5:46 | comment | added | Chris H | The strange thing is that it's just the rear hub - my other bearings are fine. I rebuilt the wheel on this hub (2 years ago) after the original (Joytech) needed new cones and ideally cups, and I couldn't get them | |

Bu tit turns out the failure mode was more interesting this time: the inner part of the body, onto which the cup threads, was broken in two, and the body came off as soon as I removed the axle and cone, without waiting for me to remove the hollow bolt. I'll rebuild the original, and maybe mix some oil in with my grease - but I've got my eye on another wheel | |
