Chris Difani has gone through several iterations I think.   He initially 
tried the Flaming River jobs, but then later on he found something completely 
exotic--I think they are helicopter U-joints.   They are super-light 
(titanium maybe?), fitted with waterproof booties to keep the grease in and the 
mung out, and are probably enormously expensive!

Chris--where are you?
