Good stuff lads, i was going to post the same thing as mines been slipping and i need to give it a clean up. i'll have to nick a can of teflon spray from work  :daumenhoch:

TwoBobRob:
Yip.  My Macneil hub put me over the bars on one of my first rides out on it.

'This seems nice and quiet..... mmm....smooth........'  WALLOP!!!!  Straight to head....   :(

Anyhoo, the pawls and hub internals need to be spotless, (any grease or muck makes the pawls stick down, which is yer slip....) and a drop of light oil on each pawl will do it.  There is a reason why modern hubs are so damn noisy - I hate that.  Grrr.......

Dark Diggler:
Degrease and apply a Pawl oil, Mavic do one, any road bike shop should have some  :daumenhoch:
