I don’t know if something got in it(I don’t think so) or one of the little balls got out of place, but my SPEED bearing just suddenly started being a lot louder, then it was responsive, and it’s just not the way it used to be. Any ideas on fixing it? ---

Any ideas on fixing it? Depending on the cage, you may have small or BIG problems. It might be breaking in like a One Drop 10 Ball. Try cleaning it, that would be my first guess. See what improvement you get from there. ---

Take the shields off and see if there is anything wrong with the balls. If there is, then just buy a new bearing. If not, then clean it.
