How about the DT Swiss pink grease that comes with the Star ratchet upgrade kit? I was riding yesterday with my friend who was riding the Ibis S35 carbon wheelset with the I9Hydra hub and besides breaking a spoke(again), suddenly his Hydra hub started to make a loud noise and when we spun his wheel forward, his cranks moved with the wheel. As we rode, his hub loosened up again and whatever pawl was sticking inside, came back into place again. Obviously after he told me he had never serviced his hubs in 3 yrs, I knew it was probably all dried out inside and in need of a serious cleaning and re-lubing...:)
@@Brendelll 10w30 synthetic works way better than this overpriced crap and any other overpriced "freehub" oil. Been running that in my hydras for over 2 years now and the internals have no significant wear at all. I also use grease on the outside perimeter of the seals, just to keep water out. Don't use waterproof grease though.
You gotta listen to the Tin Man when he says “grease”. He is famously known for asking for oil in desperate times. When he says grease, you better believe it’s for a good reason.
Good, quick explanation of the specific question I had about my Hydra. Thank you.

Anyone know the specs of the grease? I’m not paying $50 for a vials worth of “freehub grease”. This is just rebranded grease X.
silcone grease or use Differential oil doesn't matter what kind
Grease.
