Update on the Edcos.
Bearings on the front wheel rusted to oblivion. Had to be replaced.
Not massively impressed just over a year in. Never needed that for a wheel before.0 -

Blimey, that's somewhat remarkable - much wet weather duty, not that that would excuse it.rick_chasey said:Update on the Edcos.

The races are fine?Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Not even much wet weather work as I use a different bike in the wet….
Maybe it’s overkill but the new bearings were ceramic and £40 each, so £80 for one wheel, and another £20 for the labour.

It's not unheard of for bearings to go in a year if there isn't much in the way of sealing, especially if you are cleaning with a power washer or sloshing degreaser over them and not regressing.
But if cartridge bearings, it isn't a hard job to change yourself, I bought a bearing drift set from Amazon for about a tenner and does the job nicely. I pack them out with grease when I refit and seem to last much longer then.
Ceramic is a lot of extra expense for no real benefit.0 -
£5er in it between the steels and the DT Swiss ceramics so went for that.super_davo said:It's not unheard of for bearings to go in a year if there isn't much in the way of sealing, especially if you are cleaning with a power washer or sloshing degreaser over them and not regressing.

Update: rear bearings also absolutely shot to pieces.
The bearings in the hubs in these wheels are made of cheese, FYI.
