    My front Fulcrum hub seized up so I stripped it and relubed the bearings with some decent waterproof grease. Thought I would do the back as well just in case whilst its apart what grease should I use on the freehub?
    I put this on which is the same as I put on the bearings:
    grease
    The freehub now makes a more subdued noise should I put something a little lighter in there? I know in the past with Mavic wheels I have put just oil in there but I thought that was specific to those hubs.

    Possibly a bit thick/sticky for freehub pawls, I normally use Castrol Spheerol EP2, it’s an extreme pressure grease, so ideally suited for the loads encountered, and not too thick and sticky so allows the pawls to move freely as intended.

    Do you think fox float fluid would be any good they say it is anti friction… whatever that means, I would of thought all grease is.
    I also have lithium grease, rock n roll super slick, standard the stuff above or light oil
