My chain began going south on my last trip to WV. I got the new one delivered and cut the old off. After removing the old chain, I gave the wheel a spin and heard a (squeaky groany) bearing noise coming from the right rear wheel bearing. This is at 14k on a garage stored bike. I am wondering if others have had this and is it due to lack of lubrication? (it has a rubber seal which some (old post here) say to pull, lube, replace and continue). I looked all thru this forum and it seems bearings are usually good to the high 30k range. Just curious as to others experiences. I am leaning toward pulling the seals and seeing if lube is needed and if not replacing the bearing. ready set go and thanks. Oh and does anyone know the replacement for the SKF 6005-2RS1-C3?
