Hi all, although 99% sure i'd like a second opinion on my alpha one leg. When running i get a coarse sound coming from the region of the gimbal bearing a bit like a worn car wheel bearing. I read in the other forums that the bearing should be smooth to turn by hand but mine isn't! Is this my noise? And do i need to change the outer of the bearing (which seems a pain of a job!) or just pop my new one into the old housing? Thanks! Ben
