Is it not greased inside the hub? Yes, if not.

thanks for your help. im not sure if the hub is or not. i havent looked tbh. i have just opened the wheels and noticed that the quick release levers are in a little bag and are bone dry with no grease on.

do i need to open hub to check its greased? dont they come greased?
if so do i just put quick release lever in or should i put some grease on before i put in hub?

Just put a little bit of grease on it and stop fretting

yeah i know. sorry if i sound dumb. this is the first upgrade i have done since starting to bike and i dont want to mess the wheels up.

i cant find anything which says they are pre greased so i hope they are!

thanks for all of your help

The wheels spin better if you grease the skewers A blob of grease stops them getting rust coloured, water does get in there somehow.
