My 1989 British Eagle tourer has some Ambrosios built on to Exage RM50 hubs
https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-HB-RM50-0981B.pdf
I haven’t cleaned, greased and restocked a hub since maybe the year this bike was built! So going in completely in the dark. I can find the ballbearings online, and have read something (online) about possibly swapping these old seal rings (?) for some 105 (SC?) ones as they are compatible but superior? Also something about cups and cones.
so while I’m ordering the bearings I thought I’d ask if anyone here please has advice/pointers on how to go about a service and where to source service kit/parts?
