Thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear it. It was binding a bit but after I cleaned it out as best I could and lubed it, it's smoothed out just fine now. If I spun the bearing with my fingers I could feel a little something still in there but the bearings were not coming out so a full cleaning wasn't an option. No matter though, sounds like normal stuff that I mostly took care of already.
I hadn't had that thing serviced ever, so if after 3 years of riding it, that's all that was in there... and now that I cleaned it out fairly well, I'm betting it's good to go for at least another year or more. Thanks again.
