you know like if ura gonna dick around with the hubs then why not buy the
best....really....nickel and dime....

nothing beats destroying a set of grade 5 bearings


I'm not one of those show-offs who buys conspicuously the most expensive
cycle accessories - and gold plated ball bearings probably wouldn't work any
better than the regular ones I bought.

The dodgy wheel came off a dumped bike I found beside a cycle track about
the time the showmen (carnies) rolled into town, the cones were loose and
dry, I assumed that was all it was - I put in new ball bearings and plenty
of PTFE grease.

Now I'm done with that - I just scrounged another wheel on Freecycle.
