Who knows what about Goldtec (Wales)

I think the syringe is just the body of it, no needle or anything, just to force it past the sprung bearing and into the hub, so any standard syringe.

So that appears to be an easy thing to do, but Im wondering what oil :? you know companies. it could be bog standard engine oil but marketed in a 15ml tube for 30 quid. I've a few light machine oils in the workshop, but id still like a bit of advice before attempting that :? if its just to say keep forcing it in till it forces its way out, or a clinical 5ml once every 6 months or such

Dont really know about the disc versions, but is this the adapter you speak of, on the blue hub in the picture?

You could try contacting BETD and ask them, they might still have some old parts etc, they still sell Goldtec mtb hubs and parts.

I had a pair that worked perfectly for 3 years, then i stopped racing, upgraded to discs and then they got lost in a house move.
Non-disc mtb hubs. Got on the top step of the podium with them many times. Basically bought them, raced them for 3 years, lost them, never serviced the hubs. Replaced the rims after 2 years IIRC.

The injection syringe had a little aluminium nub on the end to line up with the port. But you'd still manage with just a plain syringe and a rag to clean up a bit. I know i did.
They do need a bit more cleaning than most, as the oil system is a total loss design, so the oil ends up running out of the freehub.
A squirt every 2 or 3 hundred km seemed to do ok for me.

No, and now I think on it it might have been 6 to 5 bolt for hope rotors.
It was in a job lot of three, one touted as maybe hope.

I see it now in the goldtec link. pic - bottom middle
