Review on Dumonde Tech Freehub Oil: Ultimate Lubrication Solution for Smooth Cycling by Marcus Braunstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

WORKS VERY WELL - Cycling

This stuff works exactly as advertised. Here's what happened and how this oil corrected my mistake. The last time I cleaned and re-greased my hubs, I must have overdone the lubrication in the rear hub a bit, because after reassembly the pawl ticking got quieter and quieter. I knew I made a mistake, but I decided to test ride the bike and see if the pawls worked properly in "real world" conditions. They seemed workable (but completely silent) so I decided to be lazy and not remove the grease. A few months went by where my clutch would sometimes jump - it had never happened before - and over time the jumps got worse. into the winter. Pretty soon I felt like an idiot if I kept riding, and I had to admit to myself that my dogs were now covered in lube that was just too sticky and waxy for them to securely hook on. at low temperatures. With a "Grrr" squeal, I removed the clutch housing, washed out the grease and applied Dumonde Freehub Oil. The dogs, properly lubricated now, sang that happy tic I had loved since childhood, and their action was fast and reliable again - even in sub-zero temperatures. I know loose sleeve bodysuits are cheap, but I wanted to experiment and then fix my mistake. Since then the freewheel has worked great.
