Locobob and Dynomite,

Noted!! I did see my pulley had some wear and I should be concerned too. I don’t have much mileage on mine and probably why minimal wear. I also understand that bearings can behave differently free-spinning with and without load on them.

It seemed like a good idea and nice mod at the time. Maybe just a bad pulley or bearing, but well noted to observe or replace with stock type. I’ll check mine with more detail when I return home. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experience.

I guess the moral of the story is to leave sh#t alone!!!
