Got some Shimano Freehub grease so I decided to give the Hunt Trail Wide hubs some TLC. The Shimano grease quiets up the hub, depending on how much you apply, and you can hear the difference and feel the difference. The first one I had more grease in the hub so it was quieter than the 2nd one. I then added more grease to the 2nd hub, after the recording, to quiet it down more and have it similar to the first.
After the rides, I will give an update on how they performed and hold up over time. Both wheelsets have over 500 miles on them and the 2nd one is just over a year old.
The Hunts have been holding up very well and the cost for the performance and reliability is hard to beat. I have gone from bike parks to rocky trails and they have held up, unless I crashed. I did have to get them trued after a few hundred miles but they were never extremely out of whack, just some preemptive maintenance.
