These were expensive but they avoided a rubbing contact to the resistance element.

I would unhook the spring, then back off the hex-head screw and remove the roller assembly. Then clean its outer surface with DeOxit or Bill Turner's substitute (chemically the same). Wipe any contamination off the resistance strip, and reassemble.
