Bikes: Road and Fix, Tutto Campagnolo, certo!

I've seen brand new hubs with such little grease that the manufacturers must be charging the assemblers by the gram.

By all means repack the little guys. I do it with new-outta-the-box Campy's. And while you're at it, get Grade 25 ball bearings, too. You're talking 40 bearings, so even at a nickle each (typical bike shop ripoff price), it's only 2 bucks.

Phil, Park are good bike greases. If you want to save some more money, get yourself a tub of lithium bearing grease from an auto supply store. The last pound container I bought (in 1998) which I still have, ran me a whole $5.

Do the bottom bracket and headset, too!
