Problem with Ashford Traditional
I bought an older used spinning wheel. I set it together and spent an afternoon oiling, adjusting screws and just about trying everything to get the wheel to spin easier. The wheel is hard to treadle and I have tried everything that I know of to help. I did get it to go a little better. Does anyone have any suggestions I could try? Is this wheel normally harder to treadle? I was using a louet s10 and it is a breeze to treadle compared to the ashford.
