What Did You Do With Your Commando Today?

Bugger. Maybe I should pull it and wash it out and repack it before i put the whole thing back together?

The other bearing was a Pender supplied generic one, and there was as much grease around the bearing as in it.

I thought the Zen would at least be a step up from that or an other generic.

The Pender supplied one completely collapsed in just under 13,000 miles. I went with Zen as there’s not too many named 4203 2RS out there. Still Chinese made but a German company I think. I’d have preferred the stock set up and regrease every time the wheel came out.

I’ve bought a Pender hub as a spare and I might get it machined to fit a standard set up as there’s no room at the moment. The first one I bought is still fine after 28,000 miles but if Don packs up or throws a seven where the hell could I get one?

I haven't heard of a hub "wearing out". Is there a reason to expect it might?
 
So today did some post trip maintenance after our recent week away in France and Germany, I trailered the bike there but rode around 1000 miles in the week. Maintenance included changing one of the plain clutch plates for a thicker one, oiling the clutch cable , replaced the speedo drive which packed in while we we were away, adjusted the chan and lubed the throttle cables.

Time for a beer now.
