Caster Maintenance???

Post by mountainbreeze »

Is there any specific recommended maintenance for the SS casters? For instance, are the cams supposed to be greased or olied periodically, or should they just be kept clean?

I like graphite on the shaft sockets and the surfaces of the pistons and cam surfaces.
