Got some advice that Forge DV needs servicing 2-3 times/yr, but Bailey's needs none and has lifetime warranty...so Bailey's seems like better choice...opinions???

I've had a Forge for about 2 years now. I've cleaned and reoiled it about once a year; it works just fine. On top of that, the DV wasn't very dirty when I cleaned it. I'm willing to bet it could go much longer than a year between cleanings. That's just my experience.

its not the case of it getting dirty, but case of lubrication Forge007, is a piston type DV, there is a lot of movement that needs lubing, Baily DV is a diaphram (like stock but a lot better) so it does not need lubing :)

the diaphragm could tear though.

anyway, i'm running the forge race dv (diaphragm style). i like forge, since you can change out the spring 8)
