Bearing Grease

Guest

What type of grease must be used for general use on bike bearings. I hear there is a special bycycle grease or can one use a  normal Multipurpose grease. I also assume that "bearing grease" (black stuf that looks as it has graphite or molydenum should not be used) can I use copper grease to grease the saddle post. This must be done once in six months to stop the aluminium from "freezing" to the frame. Any help would be appreciated.

Keep those wheels spinning!!!!!!

I think you're OK with moly grease in most applications.
Occasionally I play about with teflon based stuff, which is great, but too heavy going on pawls & springs etc.

For dissimilar material isolation, search for 'Tef-gel'.
Amazingly expensive, but top shelf results all the same.
We use it in the marine trade, it's available from certain marine suppliers.
