Jeff - thanks for the info. The FFS feels like it spins pretty smoothly so I am not inclined to take it apart. The bike does feel like i need to clean and re-grease the bottom bracket and I can't figure out how the get the FFS off to get to the bottom bracket. Also, to lube the FFS should I lay the bike over and drip some Phils Tenacious Oil in the FFS while it spins?
I've done some searching and not finding much, if you know how to get the FFS/Chainring off to work on the BB I would really appreciate it.
