Just cleaned my jockey wheels,popped the seals off the bearings cleaned all the crud out degreased the dried them and they are spinning wonderfully.
Now do i pack the bearings with a waterproof grease then pop the seals back in or just lube them with a bit of wet conditions lube, or a bit of a teflon based spray?
Im in favour of packing them with some nice fresh waterproof grease,...
if they're proper sealed cartridge bearings then grease them . otherwise if just a plain sleeve i'd use any lube within reason .
Yeah theyre proper sealed units packing them with grease does feel like the the right thing to do
If they are cartridge or XT Ceramic bearings just fill them with grease and squeeze the seal back on.
If they are the (cheapo SLX etc) bushed type then any grease/oil will quickly be lost.
Get some new cartridge bearings for approx £10 from Dotbike:
