Zipp Freehub Pawls Grease

This specific formulation is engineered for the Zipp 188 hub system. While it may work in other pawl-based hubs, we recommend sticking to the manufacturer's specified lubricant for your particular hub model to ensure optimal engagement and longevity.

Freehub pawls require a lubricant that is viscous enough to protect against wear but light enough to allow the pawls to spring back and engage quickly. Standard bearing grease is often too thick and can cause the pawls to stick, leading to engagement failure.

Maintenance intervals depend on your riding conditions and mileage. As a general rule, inspect and re-lubricate your pawls whenever you perform a full drivetrain service or if you notice any changes in the sound or engagement feel of your freehub.

Yes, the syringe is designed to deliver a precise amount of grease directly onto the pawls and ratchet ring. This minimizes waste and prevents the excess buildup that often attracts dirt and contaminants.

Absolutely. For the best performance, you should thoroughly clean the old grease and any debris from the pawls and ratchet ring using a mild degreaser before applying a fresh, thin layer of this Zipp lubricant.
