Regarding the topic at the top, I would suggest:
1. Type of grease: While any typical bicycle bearing grease
seems fine, these hubs can get relatively hot, easily
above 100-degrees F, by extended braking. An automtive
grease would be adquate for the bearings and better able
to take the heat.2. Grease application: I pack cages, cups, driver and
clutch heavily.
Brake shoes also need grease, but I do not fill the
entire cavity.3. Grease retarder spring: Yes
4. Re-bend worn spring: As with any spring, it helps, but
only for a short time. If it can be re-bent it means it
is fatigued and needs replacement.Off topic: I could have sworn I replied on May 6, 2004, to
the "How to tighten back pedal style breaks?" thread, but my
first comments ended up here…I don't know why.
