Freebody grease
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi
I need to re-grease the ratchet, pawls, and springs inside my currently in bits Tune rear hub.
Recommend me some alpha-male level super grease. I want the hub to maintain is aggressive and expensive sound and spin fast, so something light would be good. Also, the thought of getting even a single fingeprint on the bike gives me an anxiety attack, so I will certainly not be actively riding this thing in the rain.
What are my options?

I use this freehub body-specific grease...but primarily because I have DT Swiss hubs.

I find it funny that people get taken in when they use part specific grease/oil on bikes.
It is way cheaper and fine to use the same oil you use in your car.
A light oil 10-20w or even a 20-50w will work.

I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

Yup! Much cheaper and maybe even better performing, depending on the thickness of the grease...That being said, I occasionally like to use grease to dampen a particularly loud hub.
