Traveler, I have burned my lip more times than I can count! LOL but it taught me the relation between gearing and motor heat quickly!
chjosi, what did you soak your bearings in? I first tried 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for an hour or so, but there was still oil/grease in them. So I went to Mineral Spirits, and a 15 minute soak, and bam, free spinning bearings. I bought some SLIP Oil from Avid and it works very well. Just a tiny drip is all it takes.
The weather here is crazy and changing traction/handling bigtime! It's going to be in the 70s for the next few days, so hopefully they will settle down for a few good runs before the end of the month!
Take Care and Drive Fast Guys!!! Drew
