rear upright bearing

panterachrisMember

I experienced a lock up of my rear wheel bearing in the upright, causing the axle not to turn. this is a surprise since I had it serviced and the axle replaced and new bearings just 6 months ago.
The bearings are the Timkin roller type.
Has anyone had this same failure? Their was NO indication of the failure other than the fact when I received it from the vender the axle was "tight" and did not turn freely. I was told to keep an eye on it and I did, checking for the normal movement that would indicate wear, i.e. holding the wheel in the 12 and 6 position and rocking to check for play their was none ( no movement now either). I also checked for heat but not after a month assuming the bearings were O.K.
