[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1140693, member: 13598"] My experience with splined shafts extends from years of working with/on universal joint and splined shaft driven 2-10 ton overhead crane systems in abusive environments. Lubed splines would wear out in 6-8 months, unlubed ones in less than 2. Lubrication in these applications, not unlike those we run our bikes in, is essential to the life of the parts. And IMHO there are better products than moly 60 paste. Aerosol moly lubes have the same lubrication and corrosion protection properties while dry. They won't collect dust. Not a problem as long as lubrication is repeated regularly and the old is thoroughly cleaned off before applying fresh paste. [/QUOTE]
