My road bike wheel was vibrating my fork after 2 months of use?

So while it rains I'll be mostly servcing XC hubs this weekend.

Maybe a speedo will help keep an eye on service intevals.

Shop guy said every 700 miles! Thats every month nearly for me?!

Last time I buy Shitamo!

But then again I had 2001 LX hubs till I sold the wheels in 07 and I never ever serviced them and always ran super smooth.

Maybe I was unlucky.

On my real bikes, I use Hope hubs and you know when the cartridge bearings are dying. On the commuter and the Mrs bike, I stripped them and filled them full of RG2 grease when they were new and I only bother with them when they start sounding funny. Usually over a year each.
