The Bearing Buddies in theory provide another benefit: they have a spring-loaded piston that keeps the grease under slight positive pressure. That way if you get the hub wet (like when launching a boat), it doesn't suck in water. They also make it a lot easier to add a shot of grease frequently, making it more likely you'll do it. -- Randall |
