I've found that if I clean the arms with WD-40 then spray with a silicon spray they work better. I usually work them in and out a few times and clean off any excess spray on the arms.
With that said, I have at times had to extend the bars and hook them up like they were a solid bar.
X2. A constant PITA:M The procedure outlined in the manual for cleaning is not too difficult. Lately I have just resorted to soaking the locking collars with silicone spray and working in into the collars themselves. Then lock and unlock them a few times to loosen things up. Mine don't have the rubber boots like the newer ones so it's a bigger problem.
