So it was making a whirring noise huh? I wonder if a sasquatch can differentiate between whirring and grinding.
Those geary parts are spendy, hopefully you don't need too many.
holy crap that made me laugh.
Went over my head
Then I found out who Slick Nick was

Ya know, looking at that latest pic makes me think you could actually save that shaft. It looks like it's just bearing inner sleeve material glommed onto it. Maybe a lathe genius like Ron could turn it off for you?

The tranny is not as intimidating as it looks at a glance, is it? I took mine apart when I was doing main bearings / seals / tranny bearings just to inspect all the gears and doohickeys. Everything looked great so it all went back in.

Astroglide?
How'd you know
Actually I'm running Astroglide/KY - 50/50
fully synthetic?
Seriously, does it look like the oil was a contributing factor in any way to the failure?
I think it was more of a lack of oil that did it in
Last Summer I rode +30 miles of trails before I realized where the water from my boiling over rads was going
Water pump bearing and seal failure
When I got it all apart there was just an oily, greasy film covering everything
Bike got so hot that it melted the teflon in the clutch cable. Melted the plastic cover for the kips actuator

All I had to do was ride the 200 miles up there and back

I'm dying to ride. Gonna start freaking out on people soon I'm afraid. Getting twitchy....
Dance competition month kinda sux, out of town every weekend watching dance teams compete. My 12 y/o daughter is competing in tap/jazz/ballet. It's fun for a time, but we're all exhausted by this point. Next weekend will be my first chance to get out. Hoping the weather will be decent!
The book sure is vague when it comes to the tranny and stuff
