Hub update: Just needed an overhaul. 9 bearings were rusted and replaced.
$16 all said and done, though I can't pick it up on the Quickbeam and my
wife isn't going up there till Monday or Tuesday, so I'll be Quickbeaming
it for the weekend (again, a harsh, harsh punishment. Grin).

Great point, Ryan. Between groceries, bikepacking, and the rocks in my
skull, there's a wee bit of load to be had on the axle. Grin. A wee load

I guess they'll take a look at your wheel, but another explanation (more

Apparently cartridge bearings can be obtained from a good bearing supply

Great question, Andy! I'll find out toward the end of the month when the
budget allows. Didn't want to take it in without having funds for the upper
range of likely possibility, which they thought was $60 for full (4) sealed
bearing replacement and labor. So it's Quickbeam rides for a month. Tal

I'd suggest a visit to the LBS. They can tell if it's a cup'n'cone (old
traditional style) or pressed in bearings. Have you ever replaced the
grease in the bearings? If not, after 4 years of flogging about the
mountains they are due for some attention. Cup'n'cone are basic, low tec
