I also suffered the issues with the initial set of these. Swapping to oil solved the skipping issues for me as well. I still bought another one and I’d happily continue buying them despite the high price. They roll like mad and the silence is bliss. It should be noted unlike other silent or near silent hubs on the market these are much lighter in weight. One also saves time and money (as mentioned; no special tools) in their ease of service.
