Grease!

[MrSimmo]

So its time to service my hubs. Theyre dt swiss 360’s (3 pawl freehub) which I understand are oem versions of the 370’s.

I’ve already got all of the tools/parts except grease.

Does anyone know if I need the dt swiss universal (hubs) and dt special grease (freehub) or whether I can just use Parktool hpg-1 (which ive already got)?


Cheers

The hub-specific grease would certainly be ok.

Park Tool doesn't show its specs anywhere. It appears that they consider their grease to be a general purpose product that is good for everything, so they don't need to tell us what's in the tube. Personally, I only use two different flavors of NLGI-0 grease in my hubs. Too thick can make the operation sluggish, especially in cold weather.
