Hey everyone. I have noticed vibrations and with that resistance in higher gears while pedaling. Got it in the wild and on a trainer (so different hub and cassette). After some searching I found my BB (Token Ninja Lite) to be totally worn down on the driver side. The bearings weren’t smooth at all.
I upgraded the BB and now it got way better, but it’s still not gone. Is the axle also done or should I look somewhere else?
Cheers for helping me

To some degree, this is normal. The small cogs on the cassette almost always run “rougher”.
Unless you can physically feel the spindle being uneven, slight polishing of the spindle is fine. (use your fingernail or gently run a thin allen key sideways across the surface of the spindle)
