In addition to the reduced maintenance, they seem to free up the CVD's in the front a bit as well.

Two thumbs up for the TOP axle pin sleeves. I've been using them since the Reedy Race with great results. Since you no longer use a setscrew, the pin is free to rotate and makes the universal operate smoother.
