Relevance: The adjustable cup and cone was standard on all bikes until the 1990's when they started using sealed cartridge. But if you buy an older bike, it will have this system. It is good to check the grease at least once on a newly acquired bike, and every 5 or 10 years after. One of my bikes still has the original system, the others have been changed to the sealed cartridge. However, the sealed cartridges fail more often than the original design, so I'm in no hurry to "upgrade".
