Thanks, I missed that rebuild part of your post. That was actually my first assumption, but this fork had an extremely tight fit when putting the front wheel back on. Had to flex it just a tad to fit the quick release into the dropouts. It seems to be better now than when I first installed, but will investigate putting a washer/spacer in.
While I’ve stored the bike indoors it’s entire life, I haven’t treated it as nicely as I should have in terms of maintenance, and I noticed the rubber covers on the axel is dry/cracked, so thinking that’s part of the issue as well. Appreciate the insight.
