So you are saying that 2 or 3 fingers of grease in the interior cavity
of the hub -- in the area between the bearing races is sufficient?
That's not a lot of grease compared to what was there. I'm wondering why
it was loaded with gobs of grease. I'm the original owner, the TR250 has
60K miles, and I don't think it ever had new front brakes or the
bearings repacked. At least I don't think so.
