IRO Hub Maintenance
I know its a sealed hub, but so were the bearings in my skateboard and they needed some loving every once in a while too. So I took my rear hub apart, was able to get one of the bearings out and left the other one in. Anyhow, i felt they could be a little smoother, sounded like there was some grit inside.
I used chain lube (prolink) to clean them out, but now i am wondering if i should grease them up with something heavier.
Has anyone removed the seal without damaging the bearing? How did you remove the bearing (cartridge and all)? Cant seem to get the other one out. Are there higher quality bearings available for this hub?
