I commute on my road bike and I seem to wear out rear wheel hubs fairly fast, about 4,000 miles. My current wheels are Shimano RS11's, and they have been fine apart from the rear hub which is now not sounding great.
As it seems to be a recurring problem for me, and I hate overhauling the cup/cone hubs, are sealed bearings a reliable alternative? As they are used for commuting all year, ease of maintenance and general bomb-proofness are priorities.
Any advice welcome!
