I have a perfectly good 5 year old Shimano XT m756 rear hub but the rubber seal on the brake side has perished and split and is letting water into the hub bearings. Has anyone got a spare rubber seal or has a knackered hub with a servicable seal I can salvage.
Try Ultimate Pursuits (retail arm of Madison), or get your LBS to order one from Madison for you.
should be available as a spare or from an old hub at lbs. If it's the outer conical seal, don't worry so much as it's actually the inner seal which keeps water out
Ultimate pursuits are wholesale only according to there website and I promised the manager of my LBS that it would be snowing in hell next time I visited his store
anyone on here work in a shop that sells Shimano spares I know the part number its Y-3BK 03000
I may have as I suspect my hub is goosed.
It would be weekend before I can check it over though - would that be ok or do you need it sharpish?
dave_rudabar That would be fine theres no rush. Its been sat in the shed for months now waiting to be built up into a spare wheel to put a slick tyre on ready for the summer.
Looking at the weather forecast for the week ahead I definitely wont be needing any time soon 😥
