Mavic Ksyrium Hub Lube
Mavic recommends their own lube for the hub, but where am I going to find that.
What would you recommend?

I've used a light weight (10w) shock oil with good results.
Mavic USA recommends Pedos road Rage.

I have been using both Phil's Tenacious Oil and Pedro's Road Rage for my two sets of Mavic wheels for a long time with excellent results. In fact, I have never bought or used Mavic's Mineral Oil.

never done this before, but mission accomplished, thank you gentlemen
To be honest, it doesn't spin any more freely, but it's clean and much, much quieter.
Q - how often do you do this? annually?
I have about 15-20,000 miles on these wheels, and I was impressed at how clean they were inside. They're cleaner now, but it's not like there was a lot of junk in there.
