Servicing sealed bearings in your road, MT bikes

Wheels of Happiness

Bearing centers sell at very high prices say I bought 6802 for P150.00 at Ortigas.  However when I bought at Lazada, I got them for 10 pcs for 100.

If there is no play yet on the the bearings, they can be refreshed by:  removing the rubber seals, cleaning the grease, put light grease and oil.   Check out for smoothness, and then replace the RS (rubber seals)

If you can remove the entire bearing you can do thorough clean up of the races, the cage, and the ball bearings.   It is however tedious, and you may fail reassembling the bearing.  It is better to just soak the bearing in degreaser or mild solvent, let the dirt ooze out and then re lube (light oil and light grease

I have been doing that for about more than a year and the results have been excellent.  The important thing is to see the inside of the hubs, headsets and bottom brackets.  Clean and regrease the bearings.  You will thank me and the maker of the video.
