Hey all,

I've just wrecked my 2nd set of bearings due to water ingress :x and i was just wondering what others have done to help prevent this (ie. different grease types etc.)

Thanks

Drive on rocks, not in crap mud. Honestly as long as you hub seals etc are in good condition, there is not much you can do. If you imerse the hub in water or mud you should wash and re-pack your bearings straight after, but no-one does it. The avoidance is better than the cure.

As cheezy sig-lined years ago - Mud is for people who can't drive obstacles.

Mud = heaps of boring annoying maintenance.
