In this video, we're answering a question that came up in our BMX Nerds Discord about the intricacies of ball bearings and unsealed hubs. We discuss the best practice when dealing with these parts and even ask the question - are they worth it? If you've ever wondered how many balls should be put in an unsealed bearing, or if it's worth the hassle, then this video is for you. We discuss the common views about packing as many balls into an unsealed bearing as possible or taking one out for extra bearing movement. We also share a quick story about a personal experience with unsealed bearings that will give you a better perspective. Perhaps most importantly, we discuss the value of your time. Is it worth it to spend hours working on an unsealed hub, or would it be better to work a couple of hours, earn some money, and buy a new sealed front hub? Sealed front hubs are not only time-efficient but also offer better performance and longevity. If you're working with a tight budget or have no option but to use an unsealed hub, we offer practical tips on how to handle this situation. Remember, the aim is to get your bike in the best shape possible, not to have a high-end part that won't deliver what you expect. This video aims to provide practical, clear, and concise advice to help you maintain your BMX bike. And as always, we have a vibrant community of BMX enthusiasts on our BMX Nerds Discord who are eager to help you progress in your BMX journey.
