bionx motor wheel hub maintenance?
Submitted by cyclepete on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 07:26.
On my other bikes, I normally clean and repack the hubs twice a year, even if they have so-called sealed bearings. I've learned the hard way that year-round daily bicycling through stuff like salted road slush is hard on the grease.
So now I'm wondering about servicing the hub on my Bionx wheel. Is the procedure any different than on a regular hub? Are the bearings a non-standard size in case I need to replace them? I can't seem to find any info on this at the various Bionx sites.
Anybody done this yet?

Re: bionx motor wheel hub maintenance?
Nycewheel replied to me on this:
"I have some hardcore commuters - even in snowy areas but nobody every
complained about shot bearings. Those are not servicable, if they do
fail they need to be replaced by the manufcturer"
I find it hard to believe that this hub will last more than 3 years without repacking the bearings.
But I guess that is the official answer.
