i think thats a preety bold statement (lol) and its not really all that fair to say it, like i said, mine is over a year old. Lube does attract dirt but only if u put too much or the wrong kind on. Dont use a dry lube, it is good for roadies as it vreates a wax and leaves it behind. A good old wet lube, or go for tf2, nice and thin to get into the pins so avoid wear.
