I've always found "dummy text" amusing, but this is killer
"This dreambox allows your shapes to reach optimum texture, while staying crisp and clear! " Werehatrack, of course, you're right on about the provenance of these gems. |

Someone from Shimano once told me that their Shimano branded grease, which comes in hubs at the factory, is probably the best you'll ever find for bicycle parts. This is because it was developed for sal****er fishing reels. It doesn't separate or become gummy, redistributes itself easily, yet resists being washed out. Shimano paid some oil company a lot of money to develop it. Fishin' reels is big bidness. Not that any other grease doesn't work fine, but for the obsessive among us... Matt O. |
