When washing my bike (Wee) yesterday on the rear axle on the sprocket side I noticed a length of black rubber band like material protruding onto the axle/spacer and it appears the seal on that side has been chewed out. There seems to be a very slight leaking of greasy/oil fluid involved but nothing too serious. I want to get on to this quickly. Is it something the home mechanic can tackle. ie Purchase a seal and do it myself? I am familiar with the axle bearing set up etc to some extent?
Secondly any ideas what may have caused that...just had new tyres fitted (4,500 kms ago) so maybe something in the replacement of the axle at that time? or just wear and tear?
