Industry Nine - Official Hydra Service Video

[@mihaelfacey]

Excellent video and kudos for making these hubs so easy to service!

[@industrynine3931]

Thank you very much!

[@wasifzihan4662]

wow! as an engineer, kudos to the designer who designed this... its very easy and not requiring many special tools.... greatjob

[@JoelTGM]

Thanks for making a good concise video.

[@BorisTas1150]

Great Vid , love my Hydra's, very keen to keep them in tip top shape , so good that you guys share the required info !! #lifestooshortforshitbikes

[@AlexeiPavlov]

Boris you from ex USSR?

[@calypso2niner]

Thank you, I had the old axle and the 6804 bearing went bad and was making all kinds of noise. I just installed the updated axle design and new bearing set.

[@HongHa-mu5oq]

so touching for an excellent video

[@weathdone]

great vid thanx for doing it.. just one thing u can prolly find a socket or any cylinder shaped tube to punch bearings out evenly...

[@johnhouston8297]

Thank you for this!

[@Yusufyusha]

How many months do we need to maintain it?

[@Rumlen25]

At about 4:10 minutes you mention 'grey seal out on the disc side'; if you were to remove the grey seal would it be the ball bearing side or the inner race side of the bearing? Also, phenomenal service video and a big part of the reason I ended up with Hydra hubs! Cheers

[@Ajeditzsportz]

Love my hubs, best sound ever

[@GokkunGuru]

How much are those bearing adapters and press going to cost? Just wondering if it’s worthwhile to do at home or just bring it to a shop.

[@sebastiengiovannelli8556]

75€

[@OhTheNormanity]

Perhaps I missed something but I did not see how to remove the axle without knocking the bearings out. I've axle play on my rear hydra but the bearings seem fine.

[@wpautz]

Grease to the outboard face if both bearings? But not the DuMonde grease? Looks like a green grease rather than the white DuMonde grease for the pawls, correct?

[@vivivi..]

I have no hydra but im here 😎 im glad my hub was like hydra hubs no tool needed to service 💓✨

[@topjimmy52]

Clutch tutorial! Thank you

[@MiciahChamberlain]

What tools do you need to remove the free hub body from the cassette?

[@RideAlongside]

This really makes me want to buy a Wheels Mfg press!

[@pietrodevita]

Hello, how often should the Hydra be greased? Thanks and regards

[@superstar999100]

What is the difference between the blue grease and the white grease?

[@GokkunGuru]

Park Tool HPG (blue) vs Dumonde Tech Freehub grease (white)

[@AlexeiPavlov]

the color obviosly 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@andydick8]

Great video, but does your cassette really pop off that easy? Or is there a step that's missing from the video? Dude just pulled it off with 1 finger! Mine doesnt do that.

[@denniswebb8437]

Mine popped right off just like the video.

[@forgottenchannel1091]

Yeah it's really convenient for maintenance

[@86309]

if I had a second wheel set with the same Hydra hub in boost , can I swap the cassette back and forth between wheels without messing up anything on the hydra?

[@AOL0321]

So cool! Neat how you use the axle as a punch to remove the bearings! What is that blue grease you are using in that grease gun, a marine type of grease, like Lucas Oil?

[@ngarry86]

Likely Park Tool HPG-1 High Performance Grease

[@carlomagnotm]

What other options of lube can be used?? Pandemic made international shippings unavailable in my country and there is a industrial bearing supplier that sells Timken , SKF,Loctite greases and there is this Loctite Lb 8034 used for o-ring installations Pao based oil with calcium sulphonate it has like the same texture of that Dumonde grease, as for the oil I think maybe Shimano mineral oil can work?

[@billrose2339]

That is an excellent question. I'd like to know the same thing. What's the recommendation for end-cap grease that's water repellant and kind to the end-cap material? Marine grease would work but there are multiple marine grease choices.

[@PNW_DK]

How often should I be servicing my hydra hubs? 40 houses of riding?

[@industrynine3931]

It's more based on feel than anything. If the bearings start to feel grindy it's probably time for a change. It also doesn't hurt to clean out the freehub body and re-apply grease every ~6 months just to ensure everything is running smoothly.

[@michaeljlr8646]

is the centerlock drift set absolutely necessary, or can the 6bolt drift kit work as well on centerlock hubs.

[@rmbulaong68]

what's the difference between hydra classic and hydra

[@industrynine3931]

Our Hydra classic hubs are built for traditional j bend spokes. The Hydra system hubs are designed to work in tandem with our proprietary aluminum spokes. The internals are the same on both!

[@shabspasha7210]

That is actually very easy ti sevice but how much do these cost?

[@GokkunGuru]

You can recoup the costs of these tools after 3 full service with new bearings.

[@dcouture79]

Can you use DT Swiss Special free hub grease for this?

[@Alexandros_Patsialidis]

Yes u can 👌🏼

[@garysbraccia4980]

what grease are you using on the bearings (blue stuff) ? Also do you guys make a screw type bearing press??

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

So you should be able to push the freehub back on? Maybr im doing something wrong because mine isn't going on by me pushing back in

[@sageambrosek5206]

Make sure to spin it.

[@jeremycole6136]

What size deep socket do you recommend using for removing the inner bearing of the hydra freehub.

[@mmj7700]

I notice occasionally my freewheel will arbitrarily become quieter and then eventually louder again. Is this a cause for concern or is the grease just periodically migrating around inside the housing?

[@BorresdAnimal06]

If your freewheel is loud then your hub needs grease if not then there's still grease on it. I occassionally grease my hub too so it will become quiet

[@m00nchildblues]

Removing freehub w 2 fingers, rright!!! Mine feels like its welded on! Any other way to take off freehub, cassette on or off????HELP!!!

[@roymorales3654]

how often should i service ?

[@GonkaGonkaGonka]

I do once per season personally

[@Adam-vm8kp]

Clean and grease pawls and bearings every few months, takes 5 minutes

[@didzy9349]

hey guys what punch can you recommend for the job of removing the freehub bearings? i need to buy one but no idea what sort?

[@Adam-vm8kp]

Blind bearing puller/slide hammer set. £30 for a cheap set off Amazon/eBay etc.

[@Chromedome-ss6mg]

When you get a new hydra hub does the drive ring have grease on it? Mine is really loud and I want it quieter.

[@Adam-vm8kp]

All hubs will have grease on the freehub pawls and drive rings, pack more in there if you want it quieter.

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Wow.! Can u point me in the right direction for a set of wheels for an orbea Rallon m10 2018 29er n all the tools needed please. Brilliant vid very precise thanks 🤟

[@DuzBee]

No grease placed on the mating faces for the outboard bearing I noticed in the video. Even though the other bearing was greased

[@trailfork7815]

a normal bb tool and socket wrenches would work also

[@ANTheWhizkid]

The Dumonde tech hub oil is unfortunately not available in europe. I would need to import it from america. Could you please recommend a good alternative? Thanks a lot :)

[@ShreddingBliss]

Contact Mcarbon in Finland. Ask for Kari Ahola. They have it

[@ANTheWhizkid]

@@ShreddingBliss Hey thank you so much for the good advice! This is great.

[@Tr4qutor]

Can i use sram greese to lubrcate the hub

[@industrynine3931]

Without knowing exactly what sram grease you are referring to - We recommend DumondTec Freehub Oil.

[@AlexeiPavlov]

And how did they hold up for you?

[@ksmith3062]

Consider using an old small paint brush for grease application instead of the finger....lol.

[@lossantoscity3249]

Seriously! All this guys on youtube wasting so much grease They apply so much grease then wipe 90% of the grease they apply. I have a tub of grease i bought in Asia in 2001 it was use on so many things but still has so many left because i have a tiny paint brush inside. Also on bike works i use a tootpick to apply grease on tiny areas. 90% of the lube the industry use goes to the garbage as excess.

[@MuzakkiEa25]

@@lossantoscity3249 they do it for tutorial and education

[@shanecurnyn4612]

Hi guys my cassette/freehub won't pull off the wheel. In the video it looks easy, but my freehub is definitely not coming loose just by pulling on the cassette firmly (or even extra firmly). Hydra with Microspline, only 2 months old. Any ideas?

[@greenswater]

Having same problem, did you ever figure this out?

[@tomnguyen7880]

I'm late to the party, but just stumbled on this. It's the end cap that's stuck firmly on the axle holding everything on. Use some pliers to carefully pull and unseat the end cap first, you won't be able to completely remove it cause the cassette will be in the way. You should be able to pull the whole cassette/freehub assembly like in the video. Hope this helps.

[@joshuahuang07]

can i use chain dry lube to lube the drivering or even no lube? I want the loudest sound possible.

[@sageambrosek5206]

Sure but it will wear out faster.

[@Dean-in5by]

Hey guys if I have a non-boost 12x142 32H Hydra HUB can I change any part to reach 12x148 32H or 28H, really appreciate it if someone replied or share any link

Can I run my hydra bone dry?

why have a hydra and make it quiet 😭

Believe it or not more than half of their customers wants a quieter sound, i think those are the older people. Considering 16 year old cant really afford it. LOL

[@Sir_climb_alot]

I've been really disappointed with my Hydra hubs. I can't even get a thousand miles out of them for the free hub bearings need replacing. It's pretty unacceptable. DT. 350s on my hardtail can take 8000 mi plus without needing to be changed.
