Steve,
Here’s a thread that discusses Schlumpf lubrication. I especially like the bacon grease part.
I’m still having great results with the gear oil.

My schlumpf hub, which I basically love, is a bit ornery. Specifically, it leaks oil (just like both of my cars – gotta love consistency). The symptoms are that the outside of the hub is quite oily, and after a few hundred miles of riding I start getting some distressing grinding noises from inside the hub which go away after I inject some oil with the syringe it came with.
But, the syringe is almost empty. Anybody know what type of oil is needed? And any thoughts on why I’m leaking oil, or wha…
