always get the grease? Me, I spin each one first and only grease them if they really need it. Sometimes though I advocate replacing the wheel if the squeak will not go away after repeated greasing.

My wheel only squeaks when I use the smallest whorl on the high speed flyer. That doesn't happen too often since I'm not making any 2-ply lace weight yarn right now.
