Instead, for noise I'd first try drum brake cleaner from the auto-shop -- and if that doesn't work, maybe use some sandpaper on the drum shoes to deglaze them and take off any leading edges. | |

According to the local bike shop these can do more than 300.000km Unfortunatly they didnt see the bycicle since I don't have it where I bought it. They suggest this "solid grease" | |
