Any automotive, marine or "bicycle" grease is fine. I use Phil because I have a lot of it. I do think that white greases don't last as long. Now that I think of it, I don't grease much stuff any more. I have sealed bearing wheels, BBs, headsets on most of my bikes. I'd rather ride than overhaul my bikes. In the old days I overhauled my bikes once a year in the winter and that was more than often enough. Now my maintenance schedule is replacing the chain when needed and wiping the crud off the frame once in a while. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
