    Anybody have this happen?

    Can you please tell me what I did in not maintaining it so it doesnt happen again. I thought I always kept it greased and lubed well but maybe not and just a week before I put over a hundred miles on it and all was working fine. Was it lube, grease or what made it happen. Thanks PeteJ
