Hi
Hope people are well. Does anyone use their vintage bikes with cup and cone bearings for all weather riding and commuting? Would be interested to hear how they hold up in the rain and grime and what sort of servicing or preventative methods people are taking for bearings etc to increase longevity if you have any pointers?
Thanks in advance

Wow that’s impressive, have heard good things about the Harden hubs. They really were well ahead of their time with the cartridge bearings. Could these theoretically be changed to bearings with a seal on them too if someone wanted to? Appreciate this isn’t really in the spirit of vintage authenticity but just curious. https://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Imperial-Ball-Bearings/KLNJ382RS-Imperial-Sealed-Ball-Bearing-R62RS-952mm-x-2223mm-x-714mm--5390-p
Amazing bit of kit considering they were made c.1940-50.
What sort of bottom bracket and headset are you using for your commute? Do you have a full vintage set up
