Of course I new this to be true as the lower bearing is Teflon coated, but when I took my PDS off to set my sag yesterday, I was in Horror. The shims were covered in orange on the outside as well as speckles on the insides. The bolt had started to display signs of aluminum/steel contact corrosion and there was definite signs of pitting through out the assembly. I have never used a power washer and always spend lots of time in maintainence so I was shocked to see this. I said Fuggetaboutit and slapped in some Silkolene RG2 grease. I would rathere wear off the remaining teflon and halt the rust than lett it distroy the whole housing area.
Anybody else have this issue? I highly reccomend you take a look at yours as well, as my bike was bought in late December and has 1 race and 2 play rides on it. That's it!
