I got a Crybaby yesterday, and its great, but it has this strange foam/cream on the treadle support. Anyone else had this, or know what it is?

It's a lubricant grease to keep the mechanics working I think (about 15yrs since I bought a new crybaby).

yep - it's white grease to keep the treadle running smoothly

It's actually Lithium grease (available from bicycle shops mainly). Doubt if Nirvana knew that! lol.

Its Dunlop Jizz.

They have a bunch of people in the factory knocking one out every other unit on the production line.
