    Rear Hope XC hub, just bought new bearings and axel. What grease would you recommend? I’ve got some good old Castrol grease, thick cheap stuff. Will that do or do I need to buy something better/ more specific?

    Cheers

    I use a thin, flowy grease – like Manitou Prep M. I find the thicker stuff just gums up over time.

    I cleaned mine out and used wet weather chain lube = nice and clicky!

    no right or wrongs then, everybody has said something totally different so far! Managed 8 years without servicing/ cleaning the internals once – hope I can manage that again!
