For those who are interested - since it was asked eariler.....700Mb of data at 360p.....but its a short course...so val di sol will probably be about 1Gb

I wanted to know cause I wanted to stream on my phone however I did not have enough data. Managed to watch it late last night. Disappointed that Greg didnt win

Would that be possible for hubs as well?

For your BB it would work for a while but not many frames have a sealed BB shell. Secondly the oil will leak out of the seals on the out side of the bearings and between the crank spindle and inner bearing race.

 

Wheels could also work for a limited time but not on a MTB. way to many parts and gaps in a rear hub plus you would need to fill it with a lot of oil due to centrifugal force pushing the oil outward away from the bearings.

Some roadies and track races have been known to remove the grease and seals from wheel bearings and just run them with a drop of oil for one race.

Yeah, shortly before he says that running the bearings on the drill for 5 min brings it to almost completely worn. So skipping that step and just doing the oil, or maybe soak the bearings in ATF oil.
