i always use a moly based grease on my wheel builds. i do not use spoke prep type stuff, because most of that stuff sort of turns into thread lock after a month or so. then i end up rounding nipples when i try to true a whacked wheel. moly based grease is good because it gets into the pores of the metal so you still have a lubricant present even if you wipe the surface clean.
but my wheel building opinion is just one drop in a sea of millions.
nice score on the hub.
