I would like to find out if the shift in the center of gravity of the scope due to the slope has any effect on the performance of the bearing.
My LB has roller bearings. Before I had it properly balanced (and relied on the brake to hold it), the scope would rotate its nose to the low point on my EQ platform. Once balanced, this no longer occurred.
The LB ads tension to the rollers via the center hub-nut. There's a large knob on top. Just righty-tighty when it's windy.
The scope's a pleasure to move. - j
