I own a couple, best braid reel there is and I own more expensive reels but never have a problem with braid on those reels. That being said every once and awhile I remove the roller assembly, push the small bearing out of the plastic ring it sits in and give it a bath it Liquid wrench, free it up and brush it down with an old toothbrush, then I clean off any junk on the plastic ring the bearing sits and then rinse off the liquid wrench with a good dose of WD-40 then wipe it down as best you can and a couple drops of Reel Butter oil and bingo, as good as new. Then Liquid Wrench really does a nice job on freeing up bearings, course you should replace them each year if you fish hard. Hope that helps.

Why even try.........
