every bike i own and repacking saves the day. 10k miles on one pair, 8k on another, 5k on the third. Did a round of rebuilds 2 years ago.
getting ready to replace the 8k pair. they're on my touring bike and I thoroughly trash them and haven't had the time to rebuild of late so i've been solving clicking by squirting t9 through the seal while on the road. such is life. when i get frustrated i remember just how crappy the maintenance intervals were on my eggbeaters, what a difference. e On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 4:22 PM, Robert Barr <rcba...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am surprised to read about the clicking.
