So I've been reading, all over, different threads about 4 stroke gearboxes, all of them. I have some Ideas for lube and reliability.
I've torn the bike down for paint and bicycle reconditioning. I fitted a new kit on a used mtb so I fitted everything up and got it working first.
I'll be taking a look at the "8" transmission to see if there is alignment issues and if gear lash is adjustable.
Has anyone tried Chilton's Hyperlube in any of the 4 stroke transmissions? It's pretty amazing stuff and could lube, possibly while still providing stiction enough for the clutch. But maybe a clutch conversion is in order; there is a brake and clutch recon/surfacing place locally.
What about wet clutch friction mtrl for the clutch? It's not rediculously expensive if they can do it. I've had other stuff done by them. I might be able to get a small run made for experimentation.
I think w/ a little work these transmissions could be made quite reliable, all of them.
