Hi,

I got a cheap commuting bike. Wheels have never been servicing. Got it since at least 2009 and it has 10000+ km on it. I can feel the friction in the wheel when I hold it in my hand and let it rotate.

Local bike shop mech. told me the wheels might need new bearing + cone. This is a cheap bike from canadian tire. I was thinking replacing the wheels but it is just not worth getting new wheels. Plus it is a 7 speed bike.

Anyway, is there anyway to know what the bearings & cones are? Is there an easy way to go (replace the whole hub)?

Cheers!
