14 and 15 you could not replace the bearings.
16 and up have replaceable bearings.
Like any wheel, the trihub wheels will fail if bearings are not kept after. It's just more catastrophic on a tri hub if one wheel bearing fails since they are tied together.
For guys on a budget you can cut the posts off of the tri hub wheels which makes them independent of each other. You will then need a set of spacers to keep each wheel seated against the shoulder on axle. I sell spacers for $20. Don't have them up on the website yet, so just contact me if interested.
