Must be the boater that still lives within me but I like to have spares that I carry with me.
I have ordered 2 hubs with bearings mounted plus 4 brake plates ready to go. Time does not really allow finding out what is needed, ordering then doing the job.
If everything is not needed, then fine. I can change a drum with bearing mounted roadside if push comes to shove. I can't change a bearing. Mine are 7 years old with something like 80,000 miles on them. Well within estimated lifespan of the bearings. Last checked there were no signs of coming failure.
With the parts I can always have whatever is needed for future service like I did with the boat. I always had a rebuilt raw water pump onboard ready to be installed. Always carried spare fuel filters.
