Dumonde Tech Freehub Oil One Color, 1Oz | Brake Springs

Quiets clicky freehubs.

This is great oil for free hub bodies. Cleaned the old grease and re-oiled and the 36t engagement is sooo Loud now. Used for a few hundred miles and still spins like I lived it yesterday.

This stuff works exactly as claimed. Here's what happened, and how this oil fixed my mistake... The last time I cleaned and re-greased my hubs I must have been a little over zealous with grease in the rear hub because after reassembly, the ticking of the pawls became quieter, and quieter, and quieter. I knew I'd made a mistake, but decided to test-ride the bike and see if the pawls functioned correctly under "real world" conditions. They seemed fine (but absolutely noiseless), so I decided to be lazy and not clean the grease out. A couple months passed during which my freehub would skip on occasion -- it never had before -- and the skipping grew worse as time progressed into winter. Pretty soon I felt like I'd be a fool to continue going out for a ride and I had to admit to myself that my pawls were now encased in grease that simply was too sticky and wax-like for them to engage reliably in cold temperatures. With a "Grrr" I removed the freehub body, flushed the grease out of it, and applied this Dumonde Freehub Oil. The now correctly-lubed pawls were singing again with that cheerful tick I've loved since childhood, and their action was restored to being quick and reliable -- even in subfreezing temperatures. I know freehub bodies are cheap, but I wanted to experiment and then FIX my mistake. The freehub has been working perfectly ever since.

This is indispensable when working on hubs with pawls. My Bontrager 3 pawl, 54t hub started to bind, and I needed a good oil to use when rebuilding it. A heavy oil is perfect for this purpose so it doesn’t bind and keep the pawls from engaging. This is slick, without being tacky. A little bit is all you need. My only reservation is how long will it last. I fairly often ride in wet conditions and am always worried about the elements washing grease and oil away. Also, this is pretty expensive for such a small bottle of oil. They are definitely proud of it.

First time I've used this oil. I have a good opinion of the product which I'm using on my Project 321 Rear Hubs. It's most likely useful in other applications on your bicycles.

Upgraded my Industry Nine Torch from a 3-pawl Shimano driver to a 6-pawl XD driver. After watching a few videos, I bought this liquid AND the Dumonde grease to complete the job. In one video I watched, a drop of oil was used in the cavity where the spring goes and where the pawl goes. When all 6 springs and pawls are in place, I put a small dab of the grease on top of each pawl and then around the inside of the cog on the wheel. Final step was a bit of oil around the red seal before installing the driver onto the axel and into the housing. The result, for now, is one VERY quiet torch hub. We'll see how long that lasts. My only gripe is that it's bloody pricey, but this little bottle will prob last a lifetime. I'll pass it down to my kids so they can rebuild their hubs too...

Expensive for the amount but I did manage to oil two freehubs & I'm sure there is enough left to oil many more. Pried the rubber seal off of the bearing side of the freehub & dropped oil slowly in making two complete revolutions. Later found oil dripping out the other end, guess that means we're done. These freehubs were both new but had probably been sitting on a shelf for 20 years, the age of my bicycle. They did not sound good, in fact while coasting I could feel them thunking. Now they are smooth. Makes me think I should always oil freehubs, at least on the older bikes, before installing.
