A modest controversy over terms here ... not all your teeth of a planetary gear, touch all the time,
like a a 60 tooth annular gear , and a 20 tooth planetary rotating inside it.
now 60 teeth in a 60 tooth , would be more a splined connection , than a gear ratio,
but it would be constantly meshed.
I'm discussing just getting another maintainence oil change kit with another dealer in an neighboring state's largest metropolitan area. apparently I should just buy the whole kit, including the fill screw.
cleaning oil , draining, and then filling with the 'all season' stuff..
since I just commute a few miles into town center and back ,
rather than trying to best the circum-cycling around the world record of someone half my age..
My miles per month is not impressive..
was thinking of topping off
the hub to make up for seepage past the seals ..
10 ml out of the 25 of a full change.
