How To Service Hub Bearings | More Efficiency & a Smoother Ride!

Servicing the hubs on your bike is important if your wheels feel rough when you spin them and it will not only help increase efficiency but also stop any premature wear.

Usually the problem will be caused by wear in your bearings or by the ingress of water and grime. Wheel bearings also do eventually wear out over time which will introduce play to the hub, allowing the wheel to rock side to side on its axle.

There are two types of bearings commonly seen in hubs – sealed (cartridge) bearings and non-sealed (cup and cone, or loose) bearings. Regular servicing can extend their life, although they will eventually wear out to the point that they need to be replaced.
