Hanging around Supercheap looking for some more free samples I saw that they have Dura Hub kits on sale @ $69 an axle which is I think cheap, I could be wrong but last time I was interesterd in these I'm sure they were around the $130 an axle....

a thingy that you put over the wheel bearing centre that has a grease nipple in it, you pump it up with grease and it keeps the bearings fully lubricated at all times under a slight pressure, the problem is when they get hot it can actually work against you by blowing out the rear seal and letting dust in and destroying the bearings

. . . so I can now blow out my rear seal for only $69 instead of $130 . . . hold me back. Seriously, I think I'll just keep on inspecting my wheel bearings every 5k or so.
