rear wheel bearing completely shot
Went from work to my home and suddenly the rear felt very unstable , luckely i was 0,5 km from home. Then home i noticed my rear fender was scrubbing my rear tire, so removed that. Then went for a test, no improvement. I then checked my rear wheel and noticed the wheel bearing on the left side was gone with a thin iron ring still hanging on it, the rear axle loose in the wheel and the chain very loose. This is the second time a rear wheel bearing breaks down, but the first time it breaks down comletely. It's a weak point of the bike because the bearing is unprotected on the outside of the rear wheel,
Does anyone have a suggestion how to protect that bearing from impact? I know that this will keep on happening once in a while and i don't want to risk being stranded or worse.
