I would say TFOX would know better than I. But while your at it, go ahead and grease up those axles. All it takes is a center punch to hold them in while your servicing.

I agree,EVERYTIME a break a bow down,that is done when putting it back together.

RE: bow noise while drawing..
nodog, forgot about those plastic bushing type things the cables attach to....thinking about it now, that very well did sound like where the noise came from...that area atleast..could be limbs or cams too up there...but that could be another place to check...
came home and drew it...havent shot in...2 weeks or so...sure enough...no noise...nothing at all..not even a tiny creak!! i couldnt believe it lol...the one time i remember to actually listen and it didnt do it...

RE: bow noise while drawing..
i have a reflex also that is making a noise while drawing. i havent been home and my dad has been using the bow. i just had it serviced and the noise went away but now has come back. its an older single cam model. thinking it might be limbs pocket. does anybody have any ideas if this is the same problem yall are talkin about. im a marine and im stationed overseas so i cant take it to get it looked at im just curious if anybody has any suggestions. im thinking it is in the limb pockets tho and i had an old Xi impact that this problem happened to and it never got any better. hoping to fix it this reflex bow shoots awesome!!!! just want it to shoot quiet all the time again!!!
thanx in advance.

I would bet that it is coming from where the limb goes into the pocket.The tolerances are so close that there can be some creeking coming from this area.
I usually remove my limbs and add a touch of grease in the pocket and it usually cures the problem.

ok so can i grease the limb pockets with what kind of grease and can i do this without using a bow press? just wondering what youve done also is this noise caused by the limbs rubbing the limb pocket so can i also maybe use really lite sandpaper to maybe make a lil more room there also?
