ta but that sites asking for a password, just want to know what type of bearings they are before I order some.

I gave the user name and password. let me do it for you, hang on.

Edit: it says cartridge.

Thanks, 😀 those will do nicely then.

cartridge

however the freehub has a bush inboard which when worn will effectively 'write off' your rear wheel

you buying some posh new wheels just to put me to shame you sod?

😀

maybe, my rears egg shaped now!

you need to learn how to land properly.....

SOOB - Is that bush non-replaceable? I just bought replacement bearings but that sounds like a real PITA 🙁

far as im aware it requires a new freehub, which aint cheap.

after two bearing replacements, the second of which i am convinced was neither required or even beneficial and several 'clean outs' i have condemed the rear wheel to an emergency spare. I wouldnt sell it on even though it would be apparently fine for a couple of weeks use.

front wheel was fine, used for over two years and 100% maintenance free.

There's some dude in America who makes aftermarket replacement bushes. Much much cheaper than a whole freehub and I think he does oil seals for the same. Not sure what his contact details are but I'm pretty sure he trades on ebay.

Thanks for the info, I will check that out.
My rear is 2 years old now with a serious wobble.
