What’s the best way to do this? Right now my plan is to just clean it with mineral spirits and put two drops of YoYoJam lube in. Should I use a different cleaner/lubricant? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: I also have YoYoFactory performance oil and this weird Gorillius Lubricus bearing conditioner stuff. Would any of those work better?
Cleaned it, lubed it with Gorillius, ditched the side-caps and have been breaking it in for the past day. It’s spinning a whole lot smoother, quieter and longer than it was before, but it’s not silent at all. Though, when I was lubing, I was worried I put too much on, so I blew the heck out of it with an air compressor. I’m gonna try cleaning/lubing it again without going crazy with the air compressor and see what happens.
In the meantime, do you guys know of any other lubes that might work better? Should I lube before or after putting the shields on? What about ditching the shields completely? Would that make a difference?
There’s no more silent lube than the Gorillus Lubricus. It also has super-long break-in time if you put more than a miniscule amount… so yeah. What’s you’re patience level like for achieving silence? Many a time I’ve had to blow the Gorillus out or re-clean and try again with a smaller amount.
If you get just the right amount and then break it in, there’s nothing quieter, though, lube-wise.
