Uh. If you’ve got bearing that sounds like a rolled “r”, you’re gonna want to buy a new bearing.
Unless that row of ball bearings is rolling off a little drop in a line. Like emptying a tube of pringles onto a charcuterie board by swiping the canister out from under the stack, except it’s a little tube of ball bearings you’re pouring onto an anvil.
So rolled Rs have ridges?
