Instead of grease, I use "anti-seize" compound (like Nu2Miele mentioned). I think the copper-based compounds are for high-temperature applications such as mufflers/exhaust parts for engines. I...

Base2, thanks for the suggestion. I may yet have to replace the hub, or the whole wheel.

That's beautiful. It looks Deco to me, maybe call it 21st century Deco. Nice. It reminds me a little bit of a friend's 1940s Pacemaker lathe, or Deco locomotive. But updated.

Good idea
