nb88 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Hey guys just wondering what oil to use on my profile hub and how to put it on. I've got some 'Castrol everyman oil - high quality light lubricating oil' - im guessing this'll do. And do i just put the oil straight onto the EPs? Cheers. Noz.

Lawnmowerman Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 try mixing a bit of grease with something like gt85, wd40 or something to make it a bit lighter. im gonna try it on my oddyssey cassette hub soon ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialskid Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 (edited) hobbsie is getting a cassette hub soon, think he has sent off for it. interesting to see how it lasts him. i mixed castrol lm grease with some gt85 for my hope hub, seemed "allright" didnt really notice anything different to be honest so i use it as normal now. dunno if you need it any different for a profile though?

Will Arnold Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 i only use a slight bit of oil in mine, seems fine, apart from it locking up, but that was due to something else.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 OK Cheers guys. I'll probably put a few little drips of this castrol stuff onto my EPs/springs. Just tried running my profile with only 2 bearings in the driver and it all runs fine...cant wait to ride it :o (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montybiketrial Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Pull the driver off, use a clean rag and some degreaser to clean everything out then use some light lube on the rachets and a few blobs on the pawls and springs... I do this every 2-3 months to keep check everythings ok. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
