When a hub gets loud that means all the oil has worn away. New hubs are always pretty quiet until that happens.

yes im the same, but removing grease is stupid, and are you going to throw out a £100 hub cos its not as noisy?

grease will naturally wear away and therefore yes, it will. jowever do not remove grease and do not use wd40/gt85 or other thin oils near our hub because it will wash the grease straight out. no grease means your hub lasts less time.
