Boardman Pro rear hub - changing the bearings

theotherjake

The rear hub bearings on my 2010 Boardman Pro have almost seized. Has anyone changed them? Do I need any special tools? advice?

Or should I invest in a new wheelset?


Cheers

What sort of bearing - loose or cartridge?

theotherjake

Cartridge according to the spec sheet.

are you sure there sealed as mine on my 2008 are looses and the spec sheet said sealed

Easy enough, have a look, if cone and cup clean, lube and adjust.
If cartridge, check the model number, buy new ones (pleanty of online shops), and replace. Should be easy enough to remove without any special tools.

Ok I will give it a go. Will report back!
