Just built up a front hub with taper roller bearing torqued at 100lb ft with LM grease and another with ball type bearing torqued at 35 lb ft with Redline CV2 grease.

The one you get the grease out of and put oil in

Redline CV2 grease is very sticky from memory for a fair test you should use the same grease for comparison
Got A GTM With A Honda In the Back, and huge Nitrous bottle where the passenger seat should be when racing!

Which one should be easier to turn? Paul Torque used is irrelevant. The taper at that torque will have a spacer in the middle, hence so tight. Tapers with no spacer are literally just nipped up. I'd say taper bearing easier to turn. 9.85 @ 145mph

I thought the torque setting for a ball bearing hub was 60lb/ft - it was last week when I did a pair of drum hubs.
Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

If I torqued the ball to 60 lb it would hardly turn, 30-35 it would. The 100lb for the taper is all I could generate holding it in a vice before it started to slip. I seriously doubt it! |

Does the grease not start to become fluid until its up to working temp..?

Grease is basicaly oil with thickners such as clay or chalk (the most simplest of grease). The thickners prevent the oil squeezing out of the bearings at supersonic speeds On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

No because like I said, the thickners 'prevent' the grease squeezing out at supersonic speed. In other words, it never reaches supersonic speed, therefore, cannot sound like straight cut gears

Been doing lots of experimenting with different bearings, different greases, different amounts of grease and oil, plus reading up on KAD hubs where the shoulder inside the hub is wider so that the bearings are no longer pre loaded.
I seriously doubt it! |

the shoulder would need to be narrower to reduce the preload,
