Sadly the stock bearings, despite being lubricated externally only lasted 1k miles. Perhaps its just my bike as I havent seen any other posts with this issue.. oh well, at least its another inexpensive ($6) fix not to mention a learning opportunity as i've never replaced wheel bearings before - good times

FYI, you can buy bearings at your local auto parts dealers [ oreillys, napa, etc.] and get going a little sooner than waiting for Amazon. Good luck. If needed we can walk you through the process of removal/installation.
