    Why is the hub doesn't roll well on my Optima Exercise Bike?

      Brandon MurphySep 8, 2025
      If you have recently overhauled the hub you may have over tightened the bearing cups. If not then your hub has probably become contaminated with grit and grind and will need to be disassembled, cleaned and re-greased.

      This sound most likely indicates that your brake pads, rim, or disk are severely worn. Stop using the brake in question until you can replace the pad.
