Thanks. Yeah, the noise is what is making me think it's time to service our Hadleys. They're on our mountain tandem and we have about 1000 miles on them so far, plus we live in a dry and dusty area. The rear hub has always been louder than most, but lately it's turned into more of a buzz instead of the purr when they were new.
Hadley is right down the road from me, but I have the Phil oil laying around so I'll give it a shot.
