Likely, the residual oil in the bearings is enough to lubricate adequately UP TO 50 km OR UP TO 50km/hr. Longer distances and higher speeds will run through that residual oil and once gone will cause excessive friction and wear/scoring/gouging on the bearings.

This is one of those times where ymmv. Good luck, not worth the effort and small money saved in my opinion.
Hmm, iikhod seems to disagree with you here. Thoughts?
