Finally riding a big boys bike
Thanks, Tim. Could grease really cause such resistance? Anyway, I also suspect you're right. I initially used Phil's Tenacious Bicycle lube, which is pretty viscous. It caused resistance. So, I took it back apart, cleaned and tried grease. No difference. I'll do it again with a lightweight oil or teflon-based lube. By the way, did you put a light coat of grease on spline on which the discs are placed, or the light oil, or just dry?ou mention using liberal amounts of grease. I only use a lightweight motor oil on the discs. no grease. If you greased the discs that would be your source of resistance. grease on the bearings is fine, try lubricating the discs in a coating of oil only.
