Re: Wheel Bearings

Thanks for the replies. Great stuff Ken, I have some work to do. I have owned the bike since 12/09/2001. They haven't been looked at since I've owned it....maybe 4 tire changes. I'm a bad bad bad man.

Wheel Bearings

Bike is a 76 R90/6 with 20k miles. I am the third owner and am wondering if I should do some preventive replacement on the wheel bearings.
