RD03 front wheel bearings

[fridge]

Just swapped the front wheel bearings over, post MOT advisory notice. Followed the useful 'How to' and bought bearings as per the codes suggested: double rubber sealed. Subsequently noticed that in the Honda workshop manual it talks about bearings sealed only on the outside; does it matter?

Can't think why double seals would be a problem, perhaps single is all that's necessary given the insides of the bearings would be sealed within the hub.

Any reason why double side seals would be a problem and singles preferable??

Cheers

double sealed is the norm these days.

double sealed is the norm these days.

Thought that was probably the case, no worries then.

Hopefully the drag of the extra seal won't ruin my mpg!

I always pop one seal out and add a little extra grease then pop the seal back in. Makes the bearings last about twice as long on my offroad bike and forever on my AT.
