Got the above on the front of my commie. Whilst changing the tyres yesterday I noticed that the when off the bike, the wheel doesn't seem to spin as smoothly as I would of thought on the hub. Holding the centre with my fingers and spinning the wheel, seemed like there is resistance and felt a bit grindy. Also, the nut (with 2 flats) on the opposite side to the disc was a tad loose, so i nipped it up.

Does this sound normal, or not normal? Can they be stripped and regreased easily?

TIA.
