Hi Max, I did lube as best I could inside the gears, It works ok if you could keep up to it,I feel it is geared way too high but that might just be because I have difficulty walking. It pulls back ok but there is a fair bit of drag on it, but I guess that is just the way it is with these. I would like to get hold of another one just to compare them but they don't come up for sale too often.
