Melted front wheel bearing.


#1

Was racing at Mosport DDT last week and the last session of the day I noticed a MASSIVE amount of grease on my wheel.

I had noticed at Mt. Tremblant a small amount around the hub, but this was a different story.

Pulled the hub off and pulled apart the SKF bearing. Cleaned all the old grease and repacked with some new stuff.

Anybody else have this happen before?

I noticed a small piece of metal that looked curved like it was part of the ball bearing but I checked them all. The races all looked fine with no severe wear marks.

I am using stock pads, stock brake lines with Motul RBF brake fluid as the only upgrade. No brake fade all day long.
