Hello All,

I have afew questions regarding the lost art of setting cotter pins.

Any comments on very, very lightly greasing the cotters before assembly? Or should the assembly be dry? I'm thinking in terms of ease of setting the cotter, and ease of disassembly at a later date.

Once the cotter is in, and the bike has some miles under its wheels, is it good practice to periodically check it to insure that it has set?

Regards,
