I'm going to rebuild my rear hub, I have all the bearings etc except the grease. Its a superstar ss pro single speed hub. I'm not sure which one to use, what do you guys use ? also do I pack in as much as possible or just enough to grease the bits up.
thanks for your help
Get down to your local bearing suppliers and ask for a tube of bearing grease. Cost you about £5 and you will be able to hand it down to your kids when you die it'll last that long. I've used it for years and never had issue with it.
Search "morris k99 grease" on ebay, it's waterproof marine grease that comes in a not completely huge 400g tub which will still last until the end of civilisation. It's thick but not so thick it stops the bearings running freely and I've noticed it working much better than Rock n Roll Super Web grease at keeping water and crud out. Pop the seals off the cartridge bearings and completely fill to the brim plus a bit extra then replace the seals. It's also a good idea to put some grease on the outside of the bearings to trap the crud before it enters the bearings which should be replaced regularly
