Shimano 105 FH 1050

Hey, i am planing to go on bike trip from London to Lubeck ( Germany ).
I am fixing my bike, and have a curiosity about shimano 105 1050 6speed freehub. The thing is that when I stop pedalling my pedals still moving. It is freewheel problem!
Can i fix it by using GT85,or i have to replace whole freehub? Or there is some other way how to fix it?
Cheers!

A six-speed freehub? They've not been made since dinosaurs roamed the Earth, so your chances of finding a spare one are slim. I'd say you've probably had your money's worth, so it's worth trying the GT85. Give it a good solid flush through, then leave it to drip dry. Then run lots of oil in, and leave that to drip. You'll need to continue oiling from time to time, as the GT85 will have flushed the grease out.
Personally, I'd get a new wheel, especially if you're planning on going to Germany on it!!

Yeah it pretty old, i think its year 1987. I really hope GT85 spray will help, cause i like that freehub, and want to clear the distance with a bike which still has all parts from its origin. Hope my body can take it!
