Yes, Deejay suggested posting it in both the AVL and Classic sections, my own feeling is that it doesn't really matter as most will read it or not read it, wherever it may lay.

Problem that isn't a problem?  To me a problem is a problem whether is is a putative one or and actual one.  Maybe it should be called, problem in the making, or potential problem, since, someday, if I get enough miles on my AVL, it will have to be rebuilt.  I think it would be accurate to say that there isn't a single AVL in the U.S. that has enough miles on it to require the rebuilding of the bottom end.  Someday, as miles accumulate, there might well be.

  When one has a bike that can't be rebuilt because parts are not available, to me that is a problem. My house, as I sit here, isn't on fire, but if there is no way available to put it out, should there be afire, then I have a problem.

Glad you decided to participate old and in the way.  We all need all the help we can get!
