Det har jeg så til gengæld. Jeg er tilhænger af at mine friløb skal være så lydløse som overhovedet muligt. Så for 10-12 år siden kom jeg til at (over)smøre et par Rekordnav (den ældre type med fjeder på hver pal, i stedet for fjedren FH-RE-114 som bruges nu) og på en tur om vinteren fik jeg et par gange lige den der karakteristiske "klonk"-lyde når pal'erne ikke gik i indgreb øjeblikket. Det var ikke sådan at fedtet låste friløbsdelen, men reaktionstiden for pal'erne var nedsat. Så for eftertiden har jeg altid smurt vinterhjul en smule mere sparsomt.
I øvrigt giver tech-guru Lennard Zinn disse råd i sin blog;
"In general, you have to be careful with using grease in a freehub. It can really suck if your pawls stick down and don’t lock up the freehub; it’s a good way not to make forward progress if your freehub is freewheeling when pedaling. It’s also a good way to crash if you stand up coming out of a corner expecting your freehub to lock up and it doesn’t.
In the case of your particular freehub, which is a pretty standard, Campagnolo-style design (except that yours has multiple teeth on the end of each pawl, which may account for the noise), you may be able to get away with putting some grease in there, if you’re careful. If you do this, make sure you only use a small amount and that you grease ONLY the teeth on each pawl. DO NOT let grease get under the pawls, and do not grease the pawl hinges; this can stick the pawls down. Use oil under the pawls and on the pawl hinges."
