Kurt, years ago I picked up a NOS never laced SRAM S7 (Spectra 7, dated 2006) IGH at a LBS closeout sale for hardly any $$. I finally have a plan to use it as low tide beach cruiser I'll build around my early '90s Miyata Valley Runner frameset, which was made for the Swedish market. It's kind of interesting in that it has CF main tubes, aluminum lugs & stays, and a Chrome moly fork.


In any event, fiddling with the unlaced hub, the internals feel awful. I've seen posts warning about the grease that SRAM used. It certainly does seem, based on your experience, as if I should gird my loins and disassemble, clean, and grease this IGH before proceeding forward with a wheel build. Any advice you or others have to offer before I begin will be most appreciated.
