So let&#8217;s break it in from the start.<br \/>\nCertainly, we want to avoid contamination from dirt and rainwater. The seal on the wheel bearing side provides sufficient protection.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t recommend it for those who ride on muddy or extreme rough roads, but with adjustments suited to your use, I think it&#8217;s effective.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC00267.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64894\" alt=\"DSC00267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DSC00267.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/DSC00267.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/DSC00267-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/03\/DSC00267-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a>Don&#8217;t forget to measure and write down the specs before sealing it up.
