Hi Guys.
Noticed today that my bars are turning with less fluidity than they normally would. With the wheel of the ground, turning feels as if the tyre is on a carpeted floor as you turn it.
Stem bolt has not been touched recently so unlikely to be that. I guess I could just drop the fork out and clean it all up but a bit annoying as the bike has only done 300 miles (all trails with a fair bit of sand about). I have tried to whip out the bearings on the same bike (original went back to shop) but I could not pop them out no matter how hard I tried.
