clean the bearing, or just play with it more. It’s probably just breaking in. look at the bearing and make sure nothing’s inside it. ---

if you just got it then it just needs to be brocken in but if you have had it a while then its time for a good cleaning. heres how… 1. deshield it! this can be done by using a closepin to remove the c ring and then taping out the shields 2. clean it with mineral spirts. BE carefull when using flamable liquid. 3. let it dry! 4. use a small amount of thin lube and reshield the bearing. 5. have fun! it may take a few hours to get your bearing fully unresponcive again. ---

Having the shields to be still on, I think you just need to break it in. Debris rarely gets into shielded bearings. Check for debris in the bearing seat. ---

How on Earth do you deshield the bearing with a closepin… Paperclip perhaps,Needle,Tack…But closepin I’d like to see that. ---

YES!!! for some reason I have always called it a closepin… but you get my point
