Default Pulleys and Bridles

It has been posted about before and I thought I had checked and fixed all of my pulleys, but I missed the ones on my 9M. Take a close look at the sheave(wheel) on all of your pulleys and scrape out the scar from the casting sprue. This little bit of plastic sticking up is on all pulleys when they are cast and can really accelerate bridle wear.

How about one of my tech savy bros embeding those pics for me?

Don't forget to apply astroglide or suitable lubricant to the bearings and shaft, it prevents unwanted chafing in critical areas, and can extend your session without embarrasing equipment failure....
