correction...they put the right lube in the wrong hole
As far as upgrading the birfs here's some interesting prices to take a look at while researching parts.
MC-12300, Marfield UM-06 Chromoly Joint, $249 a piece so x 2 = 500.00
MC-12108, Replacement Snap Ring Clip $1.46 x2 = 3.00
MC-12310, Alloy USA Chromoly Front Inner Axle Set, $199
Total for Marfields w/ new snap rings = 702.00 Plus Tax & Shipping
Total for Longfields 645.00 plus tax and shipping
Nothing against Marfields because i know people that run them, but Longfields are tested and proven to be the strongest in the business for less money. then you add another 140 bucks for hub gears and you're about as strong as you can get without going d60 just a thought. both long/marfields made in the usa and both are good products
