I have a noob 243 v2 that has a issue with the bezel. About every 1.5 turns it starts getting really hard to turn for about one rotation then goes back to normal. Would it be worth it to remove the bezel and try to fix it? I'm not even sure why it would do that.

I'm not sure, why you have to rotate your bezel all the time? ADHD?
:D

Well, some people do use them for their intended purpose Luth.

Only worth fixing if it's annoying you mate. If it works OK don't worry about it.

My bezel tells me when my lunch break is over. I would want it to work as intended

It is annoying that it sticks, I think I will try popping it off and seeing if I can fix it.

Yikes, never use wd40 as lubrication. It dries things out as well as has penetrating properties so will get in everywhere and probably eat your gaskets.

Pulled it all apart and cleaned it, had some dirt in there that was jaming the retaining ring causing it to stick. Should have taken some pictures of the click mechanism. Not sure why H factory 243 is 120, read that the reason was 60 click will wear out sooner. Thats not likely, it uses the same type of click mechanism as my skx007 and I never hear of those wearing out.
