Thanks,

Don---With all respect to Mr. Gunst, and to defuse any panic among those
owners who have the B&B "cranked finger" clutches, I can think of no
reason for this type of clutch to squeal. The Gunst bearing does not
ride on the bend of the fingers. (as does the Koyo) The Gunst that I
installed along with the afore- mentioned clutch seven thousand + miles
ago is still performing as desired. Silently.
