Plus, I'm concerned, did you really get all the dirt out?
I got out as much as I could, and yes, I'm referring to your tilt test. It spins really really smoothly with the handlebars and ergo levers on.
I think there's an infinite amount of dust in there. I greased it, put it together and then cleaned it out atleast 4-5 times without getting it sparkly clean. I'll go the wd-40 route next time I take it apart.
