yet. It's still in the garage awaiting the completion of my Titan.
I'm not sure it would be fair for me to pose a question with third-hand

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Has anyone, especially someone who is sponsored by
OS, talked to them about the rear bearing problems with the OS 1.40?
Is there anything they can or will do? Is O.S. working on a
solution? </FONT></DIV>
