Worn bearings along the prop shaft give a feeling of roughness through the whole of the rev range. I've experienced these with the needle roller bearings in the Hardy-Spicer joints but with the Freebie there is also the bearings supporting the VCU. These are mounted in rubber bushes, check for cracks and signs of disbonding.
