I'm not even going to chrono it until next week when I'm off work and can spend some time on it.
Here's a picture, the guide is still white.

I just can’t understand why they do that, it’s crazy I wonder how long they’d last in the hands of someone who didn’t know anything about greasing them ?

I’ll let you off the hobnobs bet as I reckoned I was on to a dead cert anyway

It’ll be interesting to see what it’s doing once it’s lubed up

If it’s anything like mine there’ll be a fair bit of preload on it as well. If you need any info on the strip don’t hesitate to pm me, or even give me a call on PURUURIYIRO ( substitute the letters for numbers on a std qwerty keyboard ).

I could probably strip mine in the dark now !
