You're not suggesting I don't keep my equipment clean, are you?!?!?!

One of the things I liked about them was the ability to put fresh lube in on a regular basis. They made that process quite easy.... remove a screw and shoot in some new grease.
I have friends who would say just what you've said, but I have more that would say they have problems with the dirt and grit.
