Noisy Rear Wheel

[Deleted member 35268]

Doing alot of miles takes it's toll, and now my rear Miche Excite 700c wheel is making a racket (again).

I bought the wheels off EBAY (like new) as a replacement for my Alex Rims but the rear is turning out to be useless.

I will remove the bearings, grease and put back new bearings and try and solve the racket.

I don't have any new bearings - Do I need to measure them or perhaps I can look up the sizing so I can order a bag?

I wish I had gone for sealed bearings now.

Will search on ebay for some decent wheels!

yep - I went with seal bearings.... just cost me a lot of money (£52 for parts) to replace but at least it is only once a year. Nice wheels though...

When I was on cup & cone bearings, I just took a bearing into my LBS and purchased them that way couple of £...
