I don't grease bearing seats right? Why is that?

Because bpn would cry

I dont know you tell us... laziness? Greasing them is good practice.

Not trying to stir anything up here I'm just curious - why don't Odyssey/Gsport hubs come with greased bearing seats?

They should be lightly oiled in the factory with a heavy weight oil. Essentially the protective oil that the bearings come in. This should be better than grease for steel on aluminium because there is no water in the oil that could facilitate electro galvanic corrosion... I somewhat assumed that the OP related to frame bearings; BB and headset...

I thought it was a couch thing, not that bpn guy... Figures. I've always greased them anyway, at least now I don't have to feel guilty about it 

[dude...]

grease means they come out easier if you need to remove them at somepoint in the future

Why are there all of these "wish list" threads all of the sudden?  I would like an answer to this.

Because outside of Odyssey, product development has gotten stale and as the adult bmx forum we want some new, interesting parts to ride.

Quick question: What bars are these?

My best guess is the t1 salt lake bars, but I wasn't quite sure.
Thanks in advance!

Look like Bone Deth Deadman bars.

Stanton Meth Bars. (Or Bonedeth, hard to tell for sure at that angle)

So I have the opportunity to buy a Model C Ex (the white one) for £125 next weekend, should I do it? Bearing in mind I recently sold my 20" trail scout as I couldn't get used to the sketchy feel coming from 26"?

Edit - never mind, car brake pads now need replacing and thus taking up precious money. Cunt.

Find the money, that is a deal and you will love it... doing the pads yourself is easy so if you were going to give it to a garage to do you can save some cash there.

FUCK BRAKE PADS! Buy the Model C NOW. That's a killer deal and you'll love it. From a fellow MTB guy, you absolutely have to get that bike.
