In May my bike had new bottom bracket and rear hub service. I've done over a thousand miles on it since and have gradually started to hear over the last couple of days a clanking noise coming from it. I undid one side of the hub cone nuts thinking somehow it had snapped and noticed I'm missing a bearing. I check the other side and that is full.
I clean and repack the side I took apart and go for a spin and no it no longer makes the noise?
Did the LBS just stuff it with grease and hope for the best or have I disintegrated a Bearing?
If it needs new bearings should I just get all new gubbins?
