I have lots of abus. Probably 20 or more. I have had problems with .........1. Went to the store down in Sumner. Put in a new worm gear and pawl. No more problem. I have 3000s, 4000s, 4500s, 4600s, 6000s, 6500s, 7000s, a 9000, and a f.i.v.e. The f.i.v.e. was the one that gave me problems and I was told it is kind of the bottom of the line.

They are easy to take appart, easy to clean, easy to lube (don't over lube) and easy to find parts for.

Just one more vote for the Abu's.
