Care Instructions:
To maintain performance, perform periodic bearing inspections to ensure no excessive play is present. If the rotation feels gritty, adjust the cup-and-cone bearing tension using a cone wrench. Keep the seals clean by wiping away mud after wet rides, and avoid using high-pressure water spray directly at the hub seals, as this can force debris inside.
