Hi!
Recently my rear end started to feel abnormal, and since I've already done this I popped the rear open. After determining that my new-to-me shaft is, in fact, okay, I started to investigate further.
Not a professional bike mechanic, but my guess is that it shouldn't make that noise
So, my question is - what parts should I get to properly repair this?
I've found this topic and it says I need the bearing (obviously), a new o-ring and the main seal.
I'm planning on replacing the o-ring and the bearing. A new main seal costs an amount of money, and the current one looks okay-ish - should I leave it as-is or is it a very vital part to have brand new?
Thanks in advance for any answers or info!
