streetjibs Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 got the classic king with fun bolts, hd axle etc etc the works!did a full clean and lube a little while ago (finishline wet - as usual) cuz its good! and then holy toledo... hub was all quiet runnign and super dooper smooth after about 4 rides its lound as again which doesnt bother me... but as i looked closer around the collar (which is done up tight - no sideways wheel movement) was a whole lot of lube and on the other side (singlesppeed setup) there was lube comming out and running down the spokes.MY KING IS LEAKINNG!!!!I dont wanna have to pull it apart and relube it all the time.... but i dont wanna run it dry. All the parts are stil on it... im just wondering if the seals have worn a little bit or something? ANY IDEAS???????advice and questions welcome... thanks in advance!danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thats normal if youve been generous with the oil. Its not letting it all out, only the excess. The bearing outer covers are shields rather than rubber seals so they will let oil past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 you only need the tinyest amount of lube in a king bud. I run mine virtually dry and its fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 its cause by you putting to much oil in time after time, now the seals damaged.good example of this is in a car, ypu to much engine oil in and it will leak around the vaulve stem oil seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
