Anyone know of any good freehub grease/lube? I have white lithium grease or wet chain lube, would either of those work? My freehub is praticaly bone dry so I wanna put a slight bit in.

Thanks

James

White lithium grease will be fine if you use a dab.

Hope pro 2 compared to the chris king is like comparing a lion to a house cat in terms of loudness...

Chris King's are pretty loud, as are the Hope's. The loudest hub I've heard is a Rachet BMX hub.

WTF. I have a Ratchet and it's quiet. I took it apart and there's almost no lube in it, either. I dunno what the deal is... but I thought it would be louder.

I'm guessing they do more than one hub. This hub is SO loud. Louder than that Chris King in the video, it's a proper clack... sounds like an old school sports rattle!

No... they do one. Has your friend modded his in any way? Perhaps mine will get louder with time, I don't know. As it stands, my friend's Eastern hub is louder. Kind of embarrassing but I'm not really going for pure volume, so I don't care.

i have the profile elites and they have the most engagement (204 points of engagement) but my friend has the hope hubs and they are louder but not as many engagement points.
