#1 Rear wheel bearings
Why no grease nipples on the RWB s ? The fronts have them , so why the difference ?

Do not be tempted to overfill the rear hubs as this often leads to the caps being blown off.Sufficient to coat the bearings themselves but not the surrounding area is good enough . There should , I think, be a very small pressure relief hole in each cap, although not all caps sold seem to have these

That's true, and some of them don't even fit!
