I was riding my Apex to work today and a friendly reminded to grease and/or replace old wheels snuck up on me. Upper guide wheel bearing blew on me. Made a hell of a bang but did nothing other than destroy the bearing. Already having one delivered to work and will have it fixed in the next couple hours when I am done with my shift. So the point of this is to check your wheels!!!! Those were the only two I didn't replace at the beginning of the season because they were still good, 
so I repacked them with grease and 2500 miles later they are destroyed!

Actually I have a desk job hence the reason I am on TY all day, I am a Mechanical designer, I design modular commercial air conditioners. Basically work in CAD all day so when someone needs a specialty piece designed feel free to ask! The best part is the trail goes about 20ft from the parking lot here so I haven't drove my car to work in the last 2 weeks!

UPPER GUIDE WHEELS
I just removed my suspension last weekend to replace my W arm and I bought replacement upper guide wheels since I assumed they were going to be shot after 7500 miles. Never repacked them ever. I did end up replacing them but truly they were fine and I could have just put them back in.
