Glad you got a new tube. By chance, have you tried cleaning and lightly oiling the inside of the outer tube? I also wipe my inner tube with a silicone rag.

Thanks GFK. I have cleaned and oiled[Rem-Oil], did not change. Even changed to a thinner o-ring. Nada. I will keep working with it tho. Just looking at them, I can not tell any difference. Fixed now tho.

When I mentioned "fixed now tho", I'm meaning the new tube fixed my issue. The original tube is still very tight, stiff, difficult. Wasn't working correctly. Henry took care of that.

What happens when you swap o-rings between tubes?
