Thanks, Derek.
So I can assume that Brent's rears are top quality, too? And did you get your DID chain from him? Seems to me his prices are about half what the dealer wants! I tend to aggree with you on changing the rear.......maybe the surface is just through and now it'll melt like icecream in Arizona!
On the point of cleaning...... maybe I should be embarassed, but I have never cleaned it. The vast majority of our riding is done on extended trips (a couple weeks, 5-6k kms at a time). So the old girl is lucky to get lubed every night in the motel parking lots, with buddy on the seat and me duck-walking behind him, never mind cleaning the prick too!! I don't feel it has changed the end result noticably. Very conciencious of tension.
Thanks for your help,
Gerry.
