What's the appeal of the lube?

[kentauros]

I mean, is it always and absolutely necessary?

[BlueJazz]

1. Depends on the Sled and if the walls are Moist,

2. You are a God to me....

:rofl:

[kentauros]

5. Figures I'd be eating cayenne-infused dark chocolate when I read that.

:spray: :D

3. Not always necessary

however, depending on the type of lube, it can add to the situation.

4. If you don't know what you're doing.

6. Be careful! The mods watch for just this kind of slippery slope.

8. That is the appeal of the Lounge, though, correct?

:P

[MiddleFingerMom]

7. A good quality motor oil should always be used, and changed regularly

.. always use a new filter

... always ensure that all grease fittings, as well as areas such as door strikes, are greased.


I think it's important to maintain a vehicle in these tough economic times.


...we were talking about vehicles, right?

[kentauros]

9. Yes, we are

;)

What do you think of those greaseless bearings though?
Or how about the permanent-magnet ones that don't even touch the shaft?

[OmahaBlueDog]

10. Friction on the shaft is not always a bad thing

braking, for example.

[kentauros]

13. Yes, but if you're we're talking about electric motors

then all you do is reverse the polarity of the motor, turning it into a generator and the braking can be done by magnetics alone, just not very fast. And you better have a decent bank of capacitors for all the kinetic-to-electric energy, or be welding pipes together, seamlessly :P

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. Braking the shaft?!?!?!?!?

Owwie.

[kentauros]

15. You do know it's all about how much a shaft spins

and how fast, right? That's the real bearing on the matter

[MiddleFingerMom]

17. Oh, sure... the ol' "motion of the ocean, not the size of the boat" shtick.

.
Save it for the greasemonkers who WANT to believe that... who
desperately NEED to believe that.
.
No dinghy here. Nope. No way!! Sometimes I forget and SCARE myself.
.
Yep.
.
That's how it is with the ol' MiddleFingerMom.

HEY, HOW'D YOU GET OUT!! YOU GET AWAY FROM HERE!!

Not a one I'll say on DU. :D
