[QUOTE="crazyd, post: 349678, member: 12883"] The whole reason for letting your hubs cool after long hauls is not to prevent capillary action from sulking water in, it is to keep from the hot metal shock fracturing when it is dunked in cold water. Going from hot to cold too quickly with heat treated and hardened metals causes micro fracturing in the races , bearings, and spindles. So it is good habit to let your rig sit for a few after a long haul. [/QUOTE]
