Hi,
I've had the Mavic Freehub death screech and read everywhere that I need to service the free hub.
I see Shimano Mineral Oil (Brake Fluid) being touted as a good fix, but can't get my hands on any quickly. I was looking at the Cyclo Mineral Oil for brakes..
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyclo-Mineral-Oil-Brake-Fluid/dp/B00AQYSRQY/ref=asc_df_B00AQYSRQY/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310669108494&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8991888981549421281&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007288&hvtargid=pla-562909858302&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
Is this a viable alternative?
