Just pulled 3ft of electrical cable out of my rear hub

When removing my ground anchor chain I noticed a tiny bit of green wire sticking out ... so i popped the bike on the centre stand and extracted it by spinning the wheel backwards.

Safe to say I was surprised how much came out!

Spinning the rear wheel before / after removal offered the same resistance, and the wire insulation wasn't ripped to shreds ... so I guess it wasn't binding tightly.

From the parts fiche - is it fair to be concerned about damage to oil seals? I've left a bit of card beneath to see if anything escapes.

Can't damage the seal.

Just look when it's been parked. If the seal is damaged you'll know right away.

Thanks for the replies both - no issues today so i'm not going to think of it again.
