How much gear oil should be added to the ConMet front wheel?
1 Answers
ConMet front wheel requires 900 to 1000 milliliters of gear oil, approximately equal to 1.8 pounds. The assembly quantity of gear oil has strict requirements: ConMet's steering axle hub is equipped with a visual window, allowing observation of excessive, insufficient, or deteriorated lubricating oil through the window. Additionally, this window features multiple exhaust holes to maintain consistent internal and external air pressure at all times. If oil stains are found near the exhaust holes, it indicates that the wheel has undergone frequent thermal expansion and contraction processes, requiring further inspection of the brakes, providing a certain degree of brake system warning function. Reasons for the higher price: The oil-lubricated ConMet hub is 30% more expensive than ordinary hubs, but due to its 500,000-kilometer maintenance-free feature, it eliminates the need for periodic maintenance costs associated with traditional hubs.
