    I've bought a fair chuck of rail and carriages now and just my own personal experience.

    Clone rail is fine
    Clone carriages range from OK to complete junk
    Buy original Hiwin carriages pair it with clone rail works well

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)

    Should I strip the "junk" carriages, try lubricate and reassemble?

    I have nothing to lose I guess.

    Out of 6 clone rails, 12 carriages I've had 2 junk carriages so far but I paid £63 delivered for 2 * 1.5m 15mm rail with carriages which makes the carriages more than "free".

    They screwed up the listing should have been £150 but still honored it I wonder if they picked the worst one to send me lol.

    As it happened I had 2 spare carriages and have ordered full set of original Hiwin's to replace them with when they finally come.
