[QUOTE="blakmambo, post: 1383892, member: 89945"] @FJReady: Prolly that "Gen 1" has everything better, faster parts, longer lasting stuff . . . I'm already sensing that my Gen 2 parts are degrading as the WD-40 works its rust attraction and metal degradation powers . . . rust never sleeps and all that rot . . . and riding it will only accelerate that process as the WD gets thrown around inside the hub and the axle tunnel(s). Why, why, why didn't I "grease my axle" on re-assembly . . . if only they had greased it from the factory then I might have gotten the idea that the axle should be greased prophylactically to fight back against the scourge of internal rust . . . . From the "outside" it will look fine, but inside the hub and slowly creeping up the axle . . . the black death of toxic rust . . . bringing an early demise to another Gen 2er. : - ((( [/QUOTE]
