I've had to change my front wheel bearings after every outing offroad (in deep water). They get crusty with water and eat at the bearings and races.
I don't have the O-ring installed on the backside of the hubs though I've used lots of grease in that spot. The spindle suface is rusting slowly into the seal area in the rear bearing.
I'll try to get some new O-ring seals for the hub, but where can I look to rid the water infiltration into my bearings?
I HATE HAVING TO CHANGE BEARINGS all the time!
