new chain/shock cord/sprocket and now squeak

Post by jcastro20111 » February 26th, 2011, 10:25 am

Hi,

Just replaced the chain/shockcord/sprocket on my model d. The action feels as smooth as a brand new erg. The problem is that now as the flywheel is spinning to a stop, I hear a squeak coming from the cage. Any ideas?

THanks,
Carlos

There is a one way bearing in the flywheel that needs just a tiny bit of grease now and again for it to release properly.

You may need to do a few sessions for the grease to work it's way in but then the squeak should stop.
