I recently read ( somewhere online ) a report written by a bike shop owner in
Portland Oregon. He recommends that internal hubs be lubed every year to avoid
the problem Gerald found. But drier locals don't have the problem. BTW he
maintains that the Alfini 11 speed ( is 11 correct ) is the only hub with the
proper seals to do the legendary oil fill.

Hi,
Thanks to Stefan and Lars-Erik for there answers!
After studying the descriptions, I went on and opened the hub today. The result
is rather disheartening.
I expected something broken, but the Internals off the hub are so badly rusted
that I am surprised that the hub still worked in three gears. The complete
inside is filled with a mixture of rust, grease and moisture.
The first and second gear sections did not yet come apart. The ball bearings
too, are badly rusted, as are the cages.
I have repaired 2 and three gear hubs in the past but nothing as bad in shape
as
this one. I guess I will have to give up on it and get some other hub/wheel :-(.
