Consumer Description

UPON REMOVING THE REAR TIRE FOR REPLACEMENT, A CHECK OF THE REAR BEARINGS REVEALED THE HUB BEARING TO BE FAULTY. THERE WAS NO GREASE SEAL ON THE REAR OF THE BEARING CAUSING THE BEARING TO BECOME DRY. THE BALLS HAVE BEGUN TO DISINTEGRATE AND TURN BLUE FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. HAD I NOT CHECKED IT WHEN I DID, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE SEIZED AND POSSIBLY CAUSED A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
