The bartender is a sleeper and hearing the word "martini" sends him into a rampage. That is why the pole is bent and most of the girls are missing teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted April 19, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I run my bearings dry. Oil is in a bearing for two reasons and both of those reasons the bearing needs to be spinning far faster than we will ever get it spinning. Oil is their to transfer heat to the races and cool the bearing and to float debris out of the balls and ball channel For what we do dry is actually the best 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brant S. Fagan SOC Posted April 20, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Twenty-three years. Dry. Works best also because the oil film inside the bearing attracts and collects particulate matter which leads to wear and tear. Whatever benefits, however minute, might be achieved by some small amount of a lube, are far outweighed by the drag of fluid in cold temperatures and the collection of solids inside the bearing. Just my .02 from my 23. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
