Subject: [Fot] Cooked Front Wheel Bearing On GT6
> One of the inner wheel bearings was totally dried out - looked like
> the grease had just been baked black by the heat of the brake rotor,
> transmitted to the hub. The race had turned that brownish gold color
> metal gets after being heated a lot. The outer bearing was ok, though
> blackened grease had migrated over there, and the bearings on the
> other front hub are fine. Last event I ran was an enduro, but still,
> only about 50 minutes of driving time.

> I had looked at the bearings at the not long ago - smooth and plenty
> of grease. There's no evidence of actual bearing disintegration, just
> too much heat and burned up grease.
> Is it time for air ducts? I run Hawk HT10s, stock calipers and
> rotors. Brakes were pulling straight, rotors are not warped -
> possible this side was dragging, but there was no evidence of it while
> driving. I would have figured the brakes would fade away before this
> happened.
