Hi Karl,
The Dumond is used to lubricate the freehub. We have also started using Mobil XHP-222 grease as a heavier lube for the pawls. I have updated the instructions to reflect this.
How do I interpret the following: "If you don't have Mobil XHP-222 grease, do not substitute any other grease. Suitable substitutes are Dumond Tech Freehub Oil, Phil Wood Tenacious Oil, 80W gear oil or 30W motor oil." ?
First sentence says: "don't substitute anything" (which all free hub makers say--I have a special grease that is "ONLY" for DT Swiss on my other bikes. Here is another example. Except you also make four alternate suggestions (including 30W motor oil? Really?). What am I missing?

Roger,
You are correct. That wording is confusing. We will update it right now.
