WHICH GREASE IS BEST 4 SHIMANO HUBS

[scott]

Hi to All

Would like to know which would be the best grease to use in shimano hubs....

would like something which has a low start and running inertia, good water washout resistance and low wear properties

Any sugestions ???

Hubs don't care what grease they run on. Whatever you have in the garage is good for the job.

Are you using these hubs on a bicycle?

I use normal wheel bearing greases. I have the low end shimano 475 hubs that have no seal to speak of and I clean and service them every 250-300km (heading towards the 4,000km mark now), seems a shlep but it takes just over 30 minutes or 2 beers and I hang out in my 'man cave workshop'! I have tried some white marine grease from Midas and discovered that its more expensive and is no more water resistant than the WB grease. So the R50 wheel bearing grease it is!
