[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1351053, member: 87479"] I only have 45K or so on mine. I use any good lithium grease on the brake pivot, and use crappy LS spray on the shifter pivot. I'm OCD, and ride in the rain a lot, so both these areas have received regular applications of spray lube in between more proper lubing. I think my current home state secretly sprays sand and grit on the roadway every night. I've never lived in a place that puts more grit in the works and is harder on windshields and paint (but I've never ridden out west, either). My brake pivot gets crunchy rather quickly, as do the peg pivots. The shifter pivot isn't subjected to as much spray as the brake, but it, in my case, gums up worse. It may be wrong, but a drop of motor oil administered by a flex neck oiler can right on the pivot (the hidden part) makes it shift like butter. [/QUOTE]
