Question about Powertap SL+ hub and bearings
Hi guys!
I was doing some bike maintenance and while i was swapping out the freehub body on my Powertap SL+, i spun the wheel, holding the axle between my fingers. When doing so i felt a bit of a scratchy spin (like you might feel with a minor bearing issue). It was spinning quite well, so I figured the "scratchiness" was just the power meter component. Does anyone know if this is the case? Or is it supposed to spin very clean, like any other rear hub, and i might have an issue????
Thanks!

I know of nothing in the hub regarding the power meter components that would cause that so my guess is a bearing issue it should spin like any other hub.
