Hub RX05 maintenance
I bought a Boardman Hybrid Pro for my winter commuting. Happy with it so far.
Having previously had a 105 rear hub suffer damage to the cup after the grease washed out I'm now paranoid about periodically checking and greasing my hubs.
The hubs on the Boardman are labelled RX05. Since they're a Shimano wheel would I be correct in assuming that they're cup and cone bearings utilising 1/4" and 3/16" bearings?
Anything special about servicing disc hubs?
Just thought I'd check in for some free advice in case there are any idiosyncrasies when servicing these hubs.
I just plan to remove the cones and pack more grease into the cups then do it back up.

suggests they are the usual Shimano cup and cone.
Viewing the exploded diagrams on Shimano Tech Docs will confirm what size bearings they require, but I suspect you are correct in your assumption.
Must give my wet weather bike hubs / freehub their annual pre-winter check / clean / lube / adjust...0
