Hi,
I have just stripped and re greased a Roval hub with standard TF2 red grease. I then read that you should use a lower viscosity grease on hubs, is this correct? Should I stip the hub down again and apply a different grease or will it do for now until it needs another service?
Cheers
Jon
Personally I don't like weldtite grease - seems to 'watery' for my liking
I now use Shimano grease when rebuilding hubs

just ride it. It'll be fine.
£30 a tub finish line pro ceramic, nothing less 😉
Another vote for the Shimano dayglo green Special grease mentioned above. Very waterproof, sticky but once packed into a wheel hub bearing, spin the wheel on the axle and it just keeps spinning. Brilliant stuff.
Also use it on FSA headsets with non-sealed bearings. The waterproof/sticky quality of the grease gives me some confidence it will last a while - and it does.
Not tried TF2 though so can't compare I'm afraid.
