Captain Scarlet Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well when my lockring came loose on my ENO, I took it apart and put a smidge of LM Grease (Castrol bearing grease), and some oil to thin the grease.At first it was very quiet, but now around a month on it has worked itself in, but still doesn't compare to anyone elses ENO that I hear, or how it sounded before I put the grease in.Looking to get it a bit louder, I think I will take it apart again sometime and see what is left of the grease I put in, but does anyone have any recommendations as to what to put in to make it sound louder, or what is the best alternative for the freewheel.Thanks,-Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Take the grease out if you just want noise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoo Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 They're p*ss easy to service,I never put any oil/lube in because I also was just after the noise.Didn't really do it any good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Just open it, clean it out, and leave it. If you want to protect the insides then lube it up with some very thin oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Adding lube to the internals will only make the freewheel more likely to skip, more likely to slip back with more lube.Open it out, (see onzaboymarks ENO thread in FAQ) and clean all the crap out. Then very lightly oil it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
