I’d prefer to see everything (pull it apart) and to individually service/grease the bearings, but you’re not the only person I’ve talked to who has had good results with this method. There’s also absolutely a canyon between best practices when you’re billing a customer in a shop and what works perfectly for a rider wrenching at home.
Out of curiosity, do you live somewhere wet (like our Vancouver rainforest) or somewhere drier? I’ve talked to riders in places that never see wet rides who claim whole decades on Kings with nothing but a minor drivering lube.
It gets cold enough here in the winter than many oils gum up the works and keep the RingDrive from engaging. I haven’t used Phil, glad it works for you! Just want to reiterate for anyone reading that RingDrive Lube 2.0 or Mobil-1 are King’s recommendations. Seen a few folks try something else and then needing to rebuild again.
Cheers!
