richard100t Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I put a new back tire on recently & noticed that some redline is getting into the inside of the rear drive. Its a slow leak right now that spits fluid onto the rim when I ride. Theres a sleeve type thing inside the crown that may be the culprit, but I'd like to get someone elses opinion.

Guest ratchethack Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Richard, I get the same thing. Unless and/or until it suddeny spews excess quantities of strawberry sorbet on the wheel, I prefer to think of the s-l-o-w seepage (it ain't a "leak" by any stretch!) past the seal into the hub splines as a convenient "auto lube" feature that ensures the hub splines won't ever lack for that ever-so-cushy, corrosion-inhibiting coating of high grade lube that keeps those splines happy as a clam. BAA, TJM, & YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
