I was wondering if anyone had tips on how to keep the LWFF in top shape... I've had mine for just a few weeks and have been very easy on it, wearing gloves and taking my shoes off with the pedals etc. it seems that this sort of hardware can wear out too quickly, especially the pedals and even calibration is imperfect at this early stage. I want to be prepared if something goes a bit dodgy, and i especially don't want to get a new wheel for a very long time. seeya on VROC Ian Wright aka Scholem UK

Are you even alive? It's people like you that nailed up Jesus. Ian

Man take a chill pill dude! :) Ive done my share of sweating during racing but i cant see how it would harm anything. Are you talking about fixing the electronics or something?

Humoristic people nailed Jesus? I fear to ask what the joke was. Well, seems you really care about your equipment. Try extending that to cover people too. --- Antti Markus Peteri 15 miles. your dim light shines from so far away - Soul Asylum, Promises Broken

I have mine for about a year now, using it every day with a sum of at least 400 hours of use so far. I take off my shoe because its much easier to drive (you've got more feel for the pedals), but I never used gloves ... well, I don't know how much you're really sweating, but I could not find a single sign on the *** wearing out due to sweat, sunshine, me shaking the wheel in anger after blowing the ninety or something ...

I dismantled the whole thing (ball bearing conversion). Seems to be maintenance-free.
