I didn't get griffin grease which just seemed to be a kind if white lithium grease to me. Though I did regret not getting the derlin pivot cups should have done more research. Will be getting my randal with a spherical in the hanger will make sure to put up some pics.

I wish to sand the pivot on the bennet more as there is still a ridge of excess material down one side of it. Should I just use 600 grit and work my way up to 1000. What's a cheap end product that really give alum that chrome shine?

It seems gasolene and base oils have little effect on delrin, so vasoline and other petroleum greases should be okay to use. Cheap and easy to find locally.

You can also buy synthetic grease from bike shops which is probably what "Griffin Grease" would be. Cost a bit more though.

Thane is a cool guy. I got some delrin pivot cups and sleeves off him last year for my Randals and Virage Vite. The Bennett cups don't fit my Vite,I need to get around to modifying them. Did you get some 'griffin grease? I don't know what it is, it looks like Vaseline and is great for lubing pivots, makes a big difference.

Only regret was not buying a derlin pivot cup as well!

My modded Bennet Hanger came in today. Great work from Griffin Skateboards is all I have to say and Thane has great customer service. Its space-able 95mm-110mm, polished pivot, machined bushing seat and a derlin pivot cup cost $87 shipped for the hanger - I wish I had more money to throw down for the ball pivot but at $75 its too expensive.

Cheers Fitz, I'll see how the nylons go and switch to steel when they wear. Don't you find that the al hanger wears in the steel spherical?
