How often should you grease bicycle wheel bearings?
Best practice 1-2 years depending on use and grease quality. If you’re cycling in a lot of rain or off-road 3-9 months is a better bet. If it’s a cheap bb and you don’t care about failure then let it eat so long as it’s adjusted and running smooth.

Where is the rear wheel drive differential located?
Rear wheel drive vehicles will have a differential in the rear end of the car. Inside your differential you’ll find lots of interlacing gears and bearings. These gears all rely on each other and a lubricant called differential fluid to keep the differential transferring power smoothly and seamlessly.
Why do you need a front and rear differential?
For this reason, the wheels of a car need to be able to revolve independently and at varying speeds to prevent slipping, and to keep the car moving with power around corners.
What kind of lubricant do front and rear differentials use?
These gears all rely on each other and a lubricant called differential fluid to keep the differential transferring power smoothly and seamlessly. Front differential, rear differential and limited slip differential (LSD) all require gear oil to lubricate and keep the differential drive components cool.
