Great tips Jax!!

I'd just like to expand on number 6 a little more. Many people don't know what a pulley is supposed to feel like.

A properly packed pulley, generally new, will spin about half a turn when you give a nice solid spin from your hand. They're tight and quiet. A lot of people expect pulleys to spin countless times when they try and spin them, but this is not the case.

Best of luck!
