Don't ever underestimate the effect of clean, lubed rear der idler pulleys. Of course I knew this before - when the rusty ones I used to have would squeak as soon as they got a little dry. Now that I have a ceramic bearing (or whatever) top pulley, it doesn't squeak, per se, so maybe I forget... Even though I have been wiping sprockets and putting on a clean chain every two weeks,something down there was giving me the grungy sense. So this last weekend I soaked and cleaned (a lot of grit came out of the top pulley seals) and totally serviced my rear der ider pulleys w/ marine grease and just a few drops of 3-in-1 oil. Today the drivetrain is like butter. |

http://www.castrol.com/castrol/produ...ntId=7 034718 and 1000 I have Castrol Synthetic Marine Wheel Bearing Grease from Wal marine Dept in Florida but its in Fla so i don't know the consumer number. Based on nextensive use in rain and silica sand conditions, the Wal Castrol marine should run over 700 miles before repacking j wheels/ pulley wheels. The stuff is super slippery and uh tenacious. it has a creamy light brown color, in tube |
