<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?

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wayne: I have run .61's,with both seals in,
and only one seal in,and it made no difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect it would be the same with the 1.40, BUT
if a seal should let go,it would be hard on the piston/cylinder
assembly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I never removed any grease. It will be gone
after a run or three.</FONT></DIV>
