    I use electrical tape in the threads to stop grit and dirt getting in. That way when you next adjust them you can just pull the electrical tape of and they are like new.

    has that worked for u? how easy was it to adjust next time around..

    Yeah it's worked for me. The tape stops a lot of crap getting into the threads, Grease just attracts dirt and grit in my experience.

    I use clear spray grease. Works fine
