Ha, great thinking and technique.

Well, clear with no chips sounds nice RE hub condition if run with no oil. I would think your shifting should be smoother and sound level should be down. Nice.

Sorry to hear the expense issues. Your doing a short ride or something to get mineral oil moving through all the cracks and crevices right? I'll be interested if you get metal chips or anything else coming out on this next flush.

What came out? How long do you anticipate waiting?

Yes on opening drain plug to check....but nothing requires you to dump it out. Toothpick dipstick? Leakage at the hub should be very noticeable. It will attract dust and dirt and soon look like it needs to be cleaned in some way. Compare this in your mind to areas of your car engine where...

Kindernay website or youtube videos didn't leave me in a position of guessing. You just have to watch and read all of it to follow the progression of learning. They are overly optimistic at how long you can go before first flush - which your experience confirmed - for one reason, or another...

:) I don't know anything about anything but I'm going to keep changing oil until I stop getting "glitter". Maybe you've heard that song, All that glitters is not gold. Seeing how thick the oil was when I drained it at half the recommended mi/kilometers I would be about as quick to suspect the...

Given how dark and gummy my fluid came out at 250 miles or so I'm going to change fluid far sooner than 2nd recommend change until I find out how repeat drain and flushes look.

Yes.

Yes on harsh shifting under load. The IV is like that too. Youtube videos when the 14 was first released were prominently saying that that was the case with Kindernay.

Well......and then there's the "scrambler honorary stockpile" over at Merle's house. (He kindly gave me some excess hub oil received from Kindernay.) Deacon, how much do you figure you need? Oil flush only is 20ml if I recall. Sound right scrambler?

We have Hobbie kayaks with "mirage drive" paddles under the boat actuated by leg power. My wife calls them cheater kayaks.

Funny/odd thing. I like the motor cut off on my Hydra and a Sondors once I realized I couldn't drag my hand against the brake lever on bumpy trails without having blips of power loss. And I use the cutoff purposely to accomplish things. But on a Scott MTN bike with no cut off I really enjoy...

Has tubes. Must be the tubed inserts and slightly smaller tubes. It feels and rides fine to me.

Man, that is a good looking bike. Nice color.

I wouldn't have good info on that. Most of our rides are 10 or 12 miles but only half of it is up most of the time - coast down. We did do 20 miles one time, 10 up. Batt had about 15% left when we got back. Oh, did 22 or 24 with BarnBoy one time - about 1/3 coasting down. Batt was as low as...

Nice.

Score! That is a beauty. Looks like a Kindernay 7 to me - if you planned to drain, flush and refill the oil in as little as 150 miles I think you might be glad you did. (From the looks of oil taken out.)
