Nice, looks like I'll be bringing mines in this weekend.

Do you ship parts? Would love to rebuild two drives that I have. Thank you.

What are the benefits of the upgrade?

Hobie claims a gain of 10% efficiency. Bearings are almost always better than bushings creating less friction.

I can ship if you call me with a credit card and your shipping address.

Iceman, you are at the mission bay Oex? I will be fishing mission bay Sunday anyways. Do you think you might still have some in stock if I come by Sunday afternoon?

Definitely bringing mine down on Sunday.

Having been out on the water plenty I am noticing more resistance when peddling the new drives. It's not as smooth and easy as it once was. I wash the drives down after every outing and now I'm concerned as I see fluid seeping out.

Going to bring it down to the shop to inspect but hoping it's not a big deal.
