Hey group... although this newsgroup is usually rife with
idle talk, the occasional ride report, lots of OT, and the
rare challenge/smack talk, I am banking on you guys to know
something about Hayes hydro levers rec.bike.tech is full
of practical people who would have no idea of hydros (as
opposed to mechs).
Anyways, here's my question: I replaced my brake lever
pivots today, and it went very successfully and smoothly.
There are two plastic bushings that go into the upper and
lower part of the big gap spanning where the actual lever
goes. Am I supposed to lube these bushings? They're plastic,
so I'm thinking no, but the consensus is usually to lube
everything.
What about square tapers? Lube? *duck and run*
Thanks, all.
