I live for the CABE
I have a NOS 74 date AW hub that will be laced to a 27" alloy rim.
Question is, do you think that I need to break it down for new grease? Rolls smooth in my hand and sounds great. I rather not go thru the hassel of breaking it down (Parkinsons' shakey hands make this once simple job awful tough).
Probably won't see more than 100-200 miles/year of casual low speed rides.
I 've had many SA's over the years and they all had old grease and worked like a charm once I added some oil. I've put over 1500 miles on one that I got a few years back that had NO oil at all when purchased. Got out the oil can and it works perfect to this day.
I'm thinking got for it and if it dosn't work out, probably will be easier to repack grease if needed once laced up.
