I think this has come up before, but is there something folks are using to lube the pass cup holder? Mine has gotten extremely stiff. I have to be very careful opening and closing it, which I do daily. TIA ....

Slide the cassette out and look at the plastic coating on the front half of the ring...the part that slides in and out of the back half. See it the plastic coating is delaminating from the metal beneath. That was causing mine to get stiff. I trimmed the delaminated stuff and it smoothed out.
