    Rod ends

    What rod ends are you guys using? Are you lubing them? What with? Teflon lined?

      Dry lube(graphite) seems to work better than anything oil based. Oil and grease just collect dust(silica) that makes the wear much faster.

        I used FK teflon lined rod ends and replace them every year.

        Petroleum sprays are not compatible with teflon lined rod ends. Use a PTFE dry lube spray instead.

          I like teflon as well , but if you are gone use conventual type rod ends , never lube with WD40 like I still see some do , we wash good after every race and lube with shaffer pentro 90 , its a thin lube that will last the whole night ....
