    speedo drive hard to spin

    so i took my wheel off and im pretty sure the noise was comming from my speedo drive, turns out its friggin hard to turn!!! by the two tabs that face outwards into the wheel. i tried turning both ways and it hardly moved, shot some grease in there and it freed up a bit but turns like a ratchet, are these speedo drives supposed to spin freely or are they supposed to have a little stoppage?

    They should spin freely. You'll want to take it apart and clean it out real good. Then pack it with fresh grease when you put it back together.
