In my experience, removing and replacing them is easy with minimal care. I've done it many times, and I've never ruined one. Sounds like a competence issue to me!

Tic/Tinkle Noise From Loose Ball Hubs??
Trying to keep on topic...
Bought some marine grease and repacked the hubs and noise previously heard when spinning the wheel in my hands is gone completely at this point. When adjusting the cones with the wheel out of the frame there was an ever so slight amount slop in the bearings which went away completely with the wheel clamped in the frame. As a side note, the noise was non-rhythmic and is worse when riding over washboard type road surfaces. At this point I'm wondering if maybe a couple of balls are on the low side of the tolerance range and when coupled with the light grease I've been using, the ball slop is causing the issue. I'm going to take the bike for a ride today and see how every thing works out. Thanks for all the suggestions, to those that stayed on topic and offered advice Ed |

That sounds OK for proper bearing adjustment. As a side note, the noise was non-rhythmic and is worse when riding over washboard type road surfaces. At this point I'm wondering if maybe a couple of balls are on the low side of the tolerance range and when coupled with the light grease I've been using, the ball slop is causing the issue. Even if there were damaged bearing balls in the set, you would not hear them, especially while riding on rough roads. However, for all practical purposes, there are no undersized balls, the manufacture of these being so routine to tolerances you cannot measure with a common micrometer. Unfortunately, the concept gets credence and is kept alive by being mentioned in bearing discussions. I'm going to take the bike for a ride today and see how every thing works out. As a side note: It was once popular to adjust wheel bearings to the point of perceived minimum drag on track bicycles by removing one ball while setting clearance to allow balls to fall through the ball gap after passing the load bearing zone to make a regular faint ticking sound. To make sure this was audible, bearings were lubricated with light viscosity sewing machine oil. Of course this was only audible when a rider passed slowly on a parade lap or the like. Nevertheless, it was a badge of superiority to have such wheels. None of that made any sense and was just so much one-upmanship. Jobst Brandt |
