Klein Adept Race noise

Well, it may not have been the smartest thing, but after greasing the
seatpost again, I decided to add some wax based white lightning lube to my
main pivots. Seems to have aleviated the noise. Guess they just finally
got dust or contaminants inside.

I've never serviced these, so if the problem comes back I suspect I'll
replace them. The good news is that they're the same bushings as one of the
current Trek FS offerings.

Cheers
Gary

p.s. I'd be interested in your thoughts if you buy, build and ride it.

Mamba, had you ever ascertained the origin of that noise you'd
experienced with that Klein? I'm looking at a possible 2001 frame to
build up, and was wondering. Tom

Not gonna buy it. Thanks, anyway. I think the wax base might attract
some dust, but it shouldn't be hard to stay on top of it. Good luck.
