I have a set of these with the 77/177 hubs, great set of wheels... however the bearings in the freehub need replaced again! I replaced them in May, now I have done probably a few thousand miles on them. My mechanic tell me there is no seal on them so the water and grit can get in very easy. Is this normal for a set of these wheels, the summer weather was pretty good so not much water or grit could have penetrated them. Any advise or other peoples' experiences would be greatly appreciated!!

    Let's say they are not the kind of wheels that should see water and grit...

    That said, a less than optimal installation reduces bearing life far more than water and grit. Replacing freehub bearing is never an easy operation
