for a solid metal bar? hrm..
yeah i guess chaging the tape every once in a while wouldn't be a bad idea... but i don't think it's really necessary. you could replace the bushings after 1000000 miles too

anyways this thing kicks ***.... i love it.

My teflon tape fell apart, so I've just been greasing it up every so often. Urethane bushings will squeak if all the grease dries up; so this may be the only maintenance.

I've also heard of the endlinks wearing out. Mine feel fine after 20,000 mi.
