Hey, do you ever even open the hub and regrease the outer part of the cartridge bearings? I really have zippo experience with cartridge bearings other than in headsets, and they are easy to pull out by hand and clean up and regrease.
Not often. I had a Chris King bottom bracket seize up on me. I followed the King instructions and got it cleared. I’ve replaced bearings that were seized…bought a hub with seized bearing for cheap…which is easier than trying clean up the bearing. The replacement bearings are relatively cheap and not that hard to remove and replace.
