Default Dirty bearings???

Does anyone elses bearings get completely filthy (the pustide) after one or two rides? i know it only matters if the dirt is on the inside, but they are completely covered with dirt after being riden for a few hours. Is this normal?

...it probly is, im just paranoid...

Yeah it is, just clean them off once in a while. Mine only get really bad when I ride on black top or some where with a lot of dirt.

I use tri-flow for lube and it leaks out a little and the outside of the bearing gets dirty real fast. I just ignore it and let it build up a nice layer of protective grit!
