I apologize for my response as well.
I work in mining and when skf developed their new solid oil bearings I was skeptical to say the least. There is no worse environment for a bearing than a gold/copper mine. I spent a lot of time studying and retrofitting these new bearings onto industrial equipment and they have far exceeded expectations except in one instance where someone added a grease point to the pillow block and greased them. This caused overheating and failure.
Different application and environment I realize.
I was only trying to point out the design of the bushing in my comment.

Wow kind of a rude response imo.
Maybe Rocky realized they spec'd the wrong material and started to add the grease ports when the started seeing failures to tried to solve a problem that never should have existed.

I'm a millwright and mechanic , not a noob.
Bearings and bushings are designed with a purpose and the engineers who design them shudder when people do things like this without understanding the concept or material they are working with. Do you grease the new greaseless bearings from skf as well or would that be ridiculous? 

Grab that impact and ratchet up your grips dude and grease away to your hearts content.  

I was only trying to say that Igus bushings are not designed to be greased ang doing so can actually introduce contaminants be counterproductive.

I'm probably out to lunch but aren't those Igus bushings?

If so, they should be put together dry.

The grease may actually damage them and create a wedge causing excessive clearance.

From Igus:

The solid lubricants are embedded as microscopic particles in millions of tiny chambers in the fiber-reinforced material. From these chambers, the plastic bushings release tiny amounts of solid lubricant during movement.

Or, I could also be totally wrong

Seems like a lot of work for a brake that can best be described as adequate.

I had the MT7's and found it tough to get the pads not to rub regardless of which pads I used.

In addition, the noise you describe could also be felt through the lever and it is challenging and time consuming to eliminate.

Add this to an awkward bleed and it just seems like there are better options out there,

Dominions can be had for similar money,bed in easier, and offer the same consistency with more power and an easier bleed. 

No purple though so there's that ..

I run the ISX Trigger Mips. 

At 660 grams for a medium/large the weight is a non issue. 

My problem comes with packing it when riding long uphill sections in warm weather. I've really wanted to ditch any kind of pack , few snacks in pant pockets and water bottle is enough for a lot of my rides. I wear the backpack almost exclusively to strap the helmet to when I'm going up.

The bar mount looks ok I guess...

Honestly the best mtb content on the interweb imo.

Honest reviews by talented reviewers and well written interesting content.

Please don't get bought up by Outside.

Cheers.

There's no way that was Blue Steel, it' still in development.

Made in Canada and parts sourced locally.

All Dustin and his team have done is set a new standard of how and where quality cutting edge bikes can be designed and built.

So cool.

Congrats guys.

Cheers !

Losing a bike is the worst. 

Not only is it hard to get the actual value back through insurance if that's even an option but with the current bike situation you might end up being without a ride for the season.

I'm sorry but I don't buy the argument that people with "nothing to lose" should get a pass on these things. 

Maybe if the outcome was more serious it wouldn't happen as often ?

Rehab programs, job training, should be available to offenders but if there's no downside to doing shit like this, why wouldn't they ?

bikecomponents has them in stock. 

I've ordered a few things from them with no complaints.
