Shimano Deore , HB/FH590
Hi, I have a stock surly cross check complete with these hubs. It is only 3 months old, but I've already put about 2000 miles on it.
When off the bike, the rear wheel still spins freely - the front wheel feels 'rough' when it spins. On the bike spinning it, you'd never notice. I want my first 'expensive' bike to run a long time - what does this indicate. I tried the 'listening to the seat thing' but I have a leather saddle which I suspect defeats that.
If I have to overhaul it, is there a video specifically for 'front' hubs. I've watched the 'rear hub' overhaul video. Also, can anyone tell me exactly which bearings I'd need and from where to obtain them. Will marine grease be fine as well (I already have some).
TIA for your thoughts from a new user. This will be my first 'hub overhaul'.
