How often are you guys needing to replace your bearings on your rear hubs? I've noticed that the three 6803 bearings in the rear hub start getting rough. The worst one is the inboard bearing in the freehub body which is super gritty. I've already replaced them once after around 7000km and I've ordered another set. Is this normal?

normal^
The hubs pretty much have no seals and they came with SKF non-contact seal bearings.
The fact that they even last 7000km is pretty good IME.

Thanks for the confirmation. I've only used DT Swiss 240 hubs previously and I've never had to replace a bearing in a wheel set.
