seems like the drums and idler cable are the major wear items for me....i really like the new style drums with the metal inserts. Anyone not running these newer hubs should up-grade for the $32....probably throw on a new idler cable while your at it and keep the old one as a backup.

Seems to me that the chains/cables after a while strech a little. So i replace the chains every year. I igree with scallywag, that much grease on the shaft is only going to attract more sand and wear out the hub on the drum.
