What is the white residue on my bearings near the treadle?

If you notice Residue on the bearings of your wheel, that is caused by the finish of the wood rubbing off on the bearings. You can take a dry cloth to wipe this residue off. A small amount of residue is normal. However, if you notice the residue when troubleshooting for other wheel issues - it's possible it's been caused by a misaligned treadle.

If you suspect your treadle is no longer in alignment, email videos to help@spinolution.com for troubleshooting.
