I wouldn't leave it like that too long. Dirt may become an issue if it gets under the tape. There are seals that protect the inner bearings, but it would be a bugger to get any sand or road grime out of the socket and you may damage the outer bearings. Why did you remove them anyway?

That's odd, since they don't have anything to do with braking.

They rotate with the rotor. Might be worth it to regrease them and reinstall to see what happens.

Did you ever figure out what caused the rumbling noise?
