bearing grease

Ditto on white lithium! I used the heck out of it for years and then started getting bikes returned and found it had gotten hard and sticky. I switched to the green stuff from Park Tool.

I had been using green stuff, ran low and had a can of real sticky smelly red stuff other then smell I liked it better I think. Staying away from white lithium

My cousin has a bike shop and sells Giant brand bikes. He uses Lucas Red And Tacky. It's the best he's found for bikes.

I always thought this was the way to go. I packed bearings on a Roadmaster and it sat unridden for 8 years. Nothing would move. Difficult to disassemble and it all hardened solid. What a mess to remove! Anyone experience this with white lithium?

happened to me once

Will endorse the Phil grease. Only negative is price. Everytime I need to replenish, those little toothpaste tubes have gone up yet again.

Buy the 30 ounce tub. You won’t regret it!

Phil Wood on all my bikes, new and old.

Now I know! I have two other bikes with this grease that have been hanging for years. Now I have a reason to take completely assembled bikes apart...........
Later........

When rebuilding hubs I like to use red GP Grease. However, when rebuilding the planetary on triple speed hubs I use Super Lube. It is a light Grease perfect for the planetary, but it Should Not be used in the hub itself.

White Lithium , same problems as reported, so I switched to Lucas Red and Tacky

Synthetic marine grease for me. Doesn't harden and resists water invasion.

A buddy at the local co-op has a name for that aged white lithium--he calls it 'ear wax." He's not far off the mark. Depending on my location, I stick with either red synthetic or Park Polylube. I've never had an issue with either.
