Oil filter conversion
I'm not sure where he's getting them, but Lewis is waiting on an order of filters that will have the price cheaper than they ever have been. I'm not sure what he'll be selling them for, but I think it'll be somewhere around $4 each. I ran the SS on my Cannibal with about 100+ hours and haven't had a problem. All the bearings are smooth and unpitted. I think that saying that running a SS filter is going to cause a crank failure is a little much. It sounds as though it's not helping matters much, though.

I'm just a cheap ***. I change my oil about four times a month. And although $5 a filter doesn't seem like much. $2 a filter just seemed better. Plus you could avoid shipping costs.
I figured if someone made a conversion it would pay for itself after a year or so. Not a big deal. But it would also be nice to use a common filter so they wouldn't have to be purchased via mail and then have shipping tacked onto the price...

my $.02. was any aftermarket ss oil filter available when cannondale was doing their testing? and if they're so bad why did they put them in their machines? the ones being offered now appear to be a much better design than cannondales.
i'd say routine oil changes would be more important to crank bearing longevity than if your filter is ss or paper.
