Pivot Balls - 01-04-2007, 11:32 AM
Well I heard the greasing the pivot balls on your vehicle can increase handling. Is this true? Becuase I know that when at LH Mark did this with WD-40 and his blew out the first 2 laps.

It's better to use a dry silicone spray. Marks problem had nothing to do with the WD-40. Hitting the wall did.

bruce is right, dont want anything on there that would collect the dirt on the pivot balls so the silicone spray would be optimum.

Silicone spray.... OR Dry teflon bike lube. You combined the two. You can pick up the bike lube at any bike store. It is still wet, but made for dry conditions if that makes sense.
