Yes. The ball transfers can easily be washed with soap and water. Dust and small debris will get stick to the lubricant and get trapped inside the holding cup. Brand new ball transfers may also have some machine dust that negatively impacts their performance before being cleaned. Click here to watch the maintenance video for specific cleaning instructions. Rinse and remove excess water by holding upside down and moving the large ball transfer with your hand. Place on a paper towel with the outer ball transfer facing up and allow to drip dry with the help of the small drain hole on the bottom. Our suggested lubricant to improve the motion of the ball transfers is TriFlow. This is available at most bike shops: https://www.triflowlubricants.com/
