Carrying spare bearing question
If you carry a spare wheel bearing, is it packed with grease? What do you carry it in?

In my case lost a wheel bearing. Before i caught it (smoke flying), it damaged the spindle beyond repair.
With poor quality Chinese bearings, poor service and marginal axles, I wonder what you attribute the failure.
I guess i would have to say poor quality Chinese bearings. I serviced/repacked them a year ago my self. Inner bearing disintegrated into pieces and the grease burning was makeing all the smoke. Plus the now misaligned brake drum/hub caused the brake lining to drag and make even more heat/smoke. The adj nut was still in place.
