Before I start knocking out (and probably thus destroying) bearings, I wanted to ask: My front hub makes a skrrrrch (more dry than squeeky) sound when I get up out of the saddle and modestly waggle the bike back and forth while stomping on the pedals. I swapped wheels and it stopped, so I'm pretty sure it's the hub. The noise only occurs waggling one way, and when I turned the original wheel around, the noise switched to the other side. So I'm guessing a bad bearing on one side. Anything else this might be?
Also, it appears the Bontrager site no longer has an owner's manual for their hubs available. Does anyone know of a source? I've looked at Barnett's for generic info but am not entirely confident I know what I'm doing trying to replace the bearings. (Yeah, I've read old threads here too. And Park doesn't cover it on their site.)
thanks.
