Does it have Cook Bros Racing hubs? That BMX might well be worth serious money BTW. Post some pictures of the hub.

I'm not looking for a miracle grease squeezed from unicorn horn, that's your straw man. I just wanted to know which ones have a little CI and which have a lot. If you don't know it's fine to say so. I thought someone here might know even if it's not published. Yep, pretty much looking at 460...

Let me make it really simple. Which calcium sulfonate greases have the most corrosion inhibitors, some solid lubricants.

Which hasn't really advanced me beyond where I started although we've been on a nice jaunt round the houses.

They never stopped turning but efficiency is very important in this application, power input can be less than 100w. So, what grease would you use?:)

My unqualified guess. Open the bearings up and they're rusty. I'm using both types of bearing in my 'fleet' on different vehicles. My preference is for the tapered C&C arrangement because it uses a slightly larger ball than the 6000 (1/4" vs 3/16).

I'm sorry about the difficulty following my description. The bearing can be supported by two sealed cartridge units (6000-2RS) or two "cup and cone" (C&C) bearings. Sealed cartridge angular contact bearings are not normally specified.. The cup is a hardened steel race pressed into the housing...

Hi, The cartridge bearings are 2RS, normally specifying full or light contact seals. Normal clearance. Bearings are at each end of an axle. The mounting is aluminium and the bearings are pressed in. I've used a variety of bearing manufacturers, NTN, SKF, FAG. Note that the axles are also...

The bearing sees mostly salt water spray from road gritting. Full submersion would be very rare. Water ingress is not a given. If the seals are in good condition and are kept lubricated I think it may be mostly prevented but in the worst case will still pass the seals Temperature is not an...

There are two types of bearings available for this application, sealed cartridges, normally 6000/6001 rubber shielded (sealed?), or manually adjusted angular cup and cone baallbearings, normally also rubber sealed. I am manually packing the bearings with better grease, about 75% fill for the...

Thank you. I should've mentioned I am currently using a calcium sulfonate thickened grease with molybdenum disulfide and I think a modified petroleum base oil, LPS thermaplex CS moly bearing grease. I liked the look of CAM2 ultra580 ep moly but there's no distribution in my region, the UK.

Thanks for your reply. Are there Morlina greases? I only see oils.

Hello, I am looking for grease that will provide good lubrication and corrosion inhibition in a ball bearing that is rubber sealed but nonetheless somewhat exposed to rain and gritty salt water which is sprayed at it and can sometimes pool around it. The bearing is relatively slow moving at...
