Yes! The spec' shows a score of 3 in the 'Water Washout, Loss @ 79 C, wt%, ASTM D1264' test. I've no idea how good this is or how it compares to 'lesser' greases.

Mobilith SHC PM 460 maybe a fantastic grease, but in my experience it washes out of bearings just as quickly as a cheap all purpose lithium grease. It's fine in relatively protected applications like hubs and pedals, but is no match for BB's or lower headset races (both using 2RS cartridge bearings)...

I'm surprised that WD40 is mineral oil based. I always thought that mineral oils were non-drying, but WD40 definitely sets to a solid film when it oxidises after 6 months or so.

thanks iow. It feels an honour to get a reply from such a well-respected brand. As I look between the Reynolds and the Dromarti, a deciding factor has to be how easy it is to get them resoled. It looks like Reynolds can do this. Please can you advise whether your team at Dromarti will resole a shoe...

Dromarti - The finest leather cycling shoes on the planet. I'm bound to say that as I own the brand, but I have a pair which have covered 25k+ miles on the bike and 100's of miles walking which still look fantastic.

I have a set of original drawings (audax) from Mike for sizes 17" 19" 21" and 23" - If you PM me your email address I can forward them to you.

I did a similar thing - 177.5mm nds power meter crank on a 175 ds crank. Didn't notice any difference, but I'm not normally sensitive to small changes and I think my left leg is fractionally longer anyway. My choice was purely financial - brand new, but unpopular size stages pm for £110.00. I think ...

Tried the ENE DT shifters which also use the 'power ratchet' with 9 speed Shimano, but the ratchets weren't fine enough to get a reliable shift. Maybe better with fewer speeds?. If you still have the levers is it possible for you to count the clicks/measure the spool diameter/measure the cable pull...

Now using Sunrace (edit) indexed levers which give an agriculturally positive shift.

The Cycle Clinic sell unmatched drillings on those hubs for a small premium.

No experience, but they're probably gearing up for Eurobike at the moment.

Seems to be a 'feature' of some Novatec hubs?!
