I don’t really know anymore. I’ve read countless articles on gears, bearings, and lubricants. I’m fried, I will just keep riding it.

I ran white lithium for a bit on metal-on-metal didn’t really notice anything bad, got a bit warmer and I didn’t get the ‘drilling into metal’ sound I got when I ran without grease. Biggest difference I noticed after moving to liqui moli was the reduction of oil separation seeping out the gaps…

@Boardnamics use motoX chain grease is what I’ve been told. The only consumable of steel on steel are pinion gears but that’s after 1000’s of miles. Setup correctly they should last forever especially in a sealed environment with grease. They might get louder after 20 miles but only slightly due to the protective layer wearing off. With grease my guess is it will take a very long time for that to happen.

I know that the Avio MK2 gear drive uses harringbone gears, which are supposedly the quietest of any cut. Was there consideration for this gear type in your design process? Just curious.
P.S. I have a set of the BN220 with adjustable angle baseplates and dual idler mounts. Super satisfied customer!

A tale of two 
s
- The first goes onto the wheel end of axle thread almost to the end but not tight at all.
- Hold a spanner on the first & use another spanner (wrench) to tighten the second against it.
- Now you are ready to use a single spanner on the second only to seat the axle. This should NOT move the first at all if you locked them together.
- You are now ready to use both spanners again to loosen off the nuts from being locked to each other, neither of them should transmit turning force to the axle. Probably best to wait a day all the same to give the loctite a chance to cure.
