Redline CV-2 spec's

There is not a lot of info on the Redline webpage, and I didn't find any info on this site so I decided to E-mail them and get some spec's.

The PDS that he sent me actually gives a dropping point of 900F+.

Overall looks like good stuff. The wear numbers are higher than a couple of others though.

I use RL CV-2 on my bicycle's shaft drive bevel gears. Works great.

I bought a tube years back. It's unopend. Would it be any good for my kart trailer bearings?
