Seriously and a slight tangent- I've had toe surgery recently and have borrowed a knee scooter for getting around the house on. It's much like a bike with wheels, cable brakes and two (it's a four wheeled cart of sorts) headsets. Being the guy I am I decided to give it a good servicing, including fresh cables and overhauling the headsets. I found that their bearings were lubed with anti seize! I guess this is better then nothing.

We talk about how severe our riding is. Rightfully so for some of us. But I'll tell you that some of the worst equipment condition I've had to deal with have been on wheelchairs (and racing sulkies too). Andy
