    Only if they need it.

    Spin the wheel on the axle with no chain or brake, maybe axle in vice. & give them a rock. If ok then maybe pop the seal out & repack with lithium grease. The bearings will last pretty well if they are greased & the water is kept away. Those axle seals get poked & that lets the water in then bearings die quickly.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Watch for the sand getting in too. If you ride at woodhill a lot, sooner or later the sand is going to get EVERYWHERE . . .

    yeah I waterblasted my bike for about 1/2 and hour and then soaped it down and blasted it again and there was STILL sand everywhere!!!

    I might leave it all till next year and do it all then.

    Hey, shaddup - it work's for my kid's teeth!
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
