« on: March 09, 2011, 01:01 AM »
 new school cassette hubs go clickerty clickerty  fookin click click,,,  loud as fook ,  :tickedoff:   :uglystupid2: ,  with the old Shimano freewheel you bung a few drops of 10/40 in it and it goes quiet :daumenhoch:  , i've not taken the cassette apart yet , are they just a ratchet and pawl or is there something a bit more tricky in there?   looks like there are just extra pawl's from pics on t net?

The Mongoose one's I took apart the other day were r&p - and lots of crappy little bearings.

Depends on the type of cassette, if You want it quieter add more grease, but add too much and it can slip.

Use suspension fork oil instead of grease, its more seal friendly (if there are sealed bearings involved) Mavic have their own Pawl specific oil, very expensive and no better than fork oil  :daumenhoch:

Does the seal like to be lubed before a full on bumming sesh   ???


as opposed to a bit of sado stuff for foreplay
