My bike as been really heavy to pedal
At first I thought it was just me getting lazy but this morning when i got bored looking at it i dicided to check the wheel bearings and you probably know what was wrong!
NO LUBE!
Now after lots of cleaning to the old grease that is more like dried glue(cheap quality stuff!) and lots of REAL* quality wheel bearing grease my bike fells more like a Honda Gold Wing!!!
So here is a little summary:
Take 30 mins to lube your bearings so safe yourself lots of energy and time!(and fuel if you have an engine on it) AND even if your bike is fairly new it still is worth doing(my was full of sand grains!)
REAL* my friend used to go to china to buy engines and he told me that to make things cheaper chinese factories would put burned oil and other nasty thing in the bearings, gear boxes, and everything else they could stick in to reduce cost!
Good luck with yours
