| Want to save money over the lifetime of your bicycle? Want your bicycle to roll faster with less effort? If so, consider having your bicycle bearings cleaned and regreased before it’s too late. As Ben Franklin said, “ An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is similar to changing the oil in your car before the engine is ruined. |
| The picture below shows a neglected rear hub. The damage was so bad that the cups, cones, and bearings were ruined. Instead of paying $25 for preventative maintenance, the wheel had to be replaced costing $80-$220 depending on quality. |
| This picture shows what your bearings will look like with fresh grease. For about $25 you can keep each bearing running like new. |
| Suggested service interval depends on riding conditions: dry riding approximately 1-3 years wet/rainy riding approximately 6 months-year muddy riding approximately 5 to 25 rides |
