Hi i've got a pro2 singlespeed rear wheel thats been sat around for a while. it's relatively new, i havnt done many miles on it...

gonna put her back into use soon and was wondering if it could do with a service or are they ok with not being used for a while?

thanks, fellow mechainics!

thats what i was thinking, it comes down to how much love you have for your bike parts, and how lazy you are. a well serviced hub will last forever tup

yes, by clicking lovingly in my ear (and everyone elses) but seriously (just remembered) i heard if you service it and put new grease in it clicks extra loud, so.. yep!

you will need to put a really thin liquid grease in it, i used wet lube and it made it silent but smooth, i bet dry lube would be pretty good to use

cool. i've just done it. but i also did something a bit nauty but i couldnt resist. i bent the springs outwards a bit to increse the force on the pawls = louder click. and guess what its fackin loud! i dont know if this is because its all clean inside or cos of my spring bending or a bit o both...
i filmed myself doing it, uploading soon

eyeah... neverrrrrr bend the springs!
it's a loud enough hub as it is, mine is packed full of polylube and it still wakes the dead

yes, as i was doing it i was thinking, 'hang on, hope have designed this to be the way it is, dont fiddle.. well as it turns out a new set of pawls n springs is £15 ($25 ish) so if it dies i'l do that. seems ok though!
