Lubed and cleaned the chain, I have a brand new rear d, and the bottom bracket it as lubed as I can get it. Changing it to Chris King as soon as I can get the cash. With that injectable grease port it makes it easier to maintain.
I doubt that you could change out those freehubs, but from my experience the best way to find out for sure is to contact the hub manufacturer. In my case I was trying to replace a Shimano compatible freehub, on a hub built for Bontrager by DT Swiss, with a Campy compatible hub. I was able to find an e-mail address for DT and their rep asked me for the hub serial number. Ultimately the answer was no, but in some cases their freehubs can be replaced with the other type, and the serial number defines which hubs.
What type of tires do you have? Heavy puncture resistant tires are sluggish compared to light weight high performance road tires. Of course air pressure also plays a part in how fast a wheel will "spin up".
