About 6 weeks ago I cleaned and re-lubed a Shimano freehub that was starting to stick. I used the same waterproof grease as I use in my hubs, for want of anything else. It all worked fine at first.
Anyway, it is now sticking again, and after some googling I reckon it could be my use of grease rather than oil, especially as it has seemed to be worst in cold snaps.
What do other people use to lubricate the bearings on these freehubs? I've only got a thin lube oil or else Finish Line wet at the moment. Would either of these do or is there another recommended (and easily available) type?
