Over lubricated free wheel
Good evening all. New to the forum, just finished building a early 80s road bike, my first attempt at doing so. I am in the process of working through a few issues, but a new one is I was concerned that I did not lubricate my free wheel enough, so I added a bit more. It’s what I guess is medium weight, Phil’s tenacious oil. Now I am noticing that it is no longer making that “ratcheting” sound. Did some research, my guess is the mechanism is “churning through it.” It’s also a little harder to pedal, which supports this theory. Will it seep out and fix itself, or do in need to flush it with wd40 or other solvent, and re-add the appropriate amount of lubricant? What even is the appropriate amount. This is going to be a lot of trial and error. Thank you
