And I am still not sure, wether lubricating the carbon version - pivot would be a good idea or not. (referriing to wear off).. there is no real long time data concerning that, just guessing as far as I see?. Thanks Lou,

It is not self lubricating like the Pebax. Lou Erik, from what I’ve seen the carbon cuff wears noticeably faster. It is not self lubricating like the Pebax.

I like the fit of the TLT5's and I'm looking at some closeout deals and wondering if I can do anything preemptively to reduce wear, even add my own bushing if I can open it up and re-rivet....? Or just leave as is? Thoughts? Thanks John Lou – I’m interested if you’ve heard anything in response to Erik’s question above.
