My apologies for coming across as short. It wasn’t my intention but in re-reading my response I agree I sound like an asshole.
I’m aware of IGUS’ stance on greasing their bushings. At least locally, it’s often best to grease them in pedals too, despite manufacturer’s recommendation.
I feel I went to a sufficient extent in the article to highlight the amount of experience that Geoff, and myself, have with this platform over many years. If lubricating the sliding surfaces wasn’t accepted best practice in this case I wouldn’t be showcasing it. There are many reasons - friction being a major one - that Rocky uses cartridge bearings now.
