That's only half the story. Look at any wooden wagon wheel, and you will
see that the hub is surrounded by metal *rings,* to help it *bear* the load.


True, but they don't 'bear' up for long, without lube. Just don't
use grease rendered from a bi-polar bear, because you never know when it
will turn on you. ;-)
