Stiff Crank, no sound as if the bearings are gone
#1
Ironhorse Maverick 3.0, what could be wrong. It was just fine yesterday went out for a ride today not even out of the parking lot crank became stiff still rotates both ways no sound like it's the bearings gone. Is it just dry and needs to be greased or something

try to get some pics of the Bottom bracket area where the spindle is.(both sides). It sounds like that could be the problem but need to know what type you have.
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
