Hey folks.

I am doing a slow build of a velobuild 168 this winter/spring.  I have in hand a Sensah empire 2x11 group set.  I am finding the FD is super stiff.  Turning the pull arm over with my hands requires an effort just shy of Herculean.  Installing the cable from the brifter reveals the cable is pulling the right amount, but fails to move the arm on the FD, arm too stiff perhaps? Have you encountered this? Any thoughts on how to release some tension on the FD spring, if that is even possible? Many thanks.
