if you could only use one grease

[vqdriver]

which would you use?
lotta different info and recommendations out there, and i'm sure it's all good stuff. but if you could only use one, which would it be?

not a shop, just garage work on my own gear, headsets/hubs/bottom brackets and such. in so cal, so not very harsh weather. normally repack bearings maybe once a year or two unless i've already got it apart. pretty casual stuff. gotta clear out my chemicals box. here's what i've got in there now. phil wood, finish line teflon, park, pedros, and generic jar-o-grease.

Kendall Super Blu

Get it at an automotive store. One tub will last you years.

[rePhil]

Only one? Kendall Super Blu.I have been using it for over 15 years. I like the condition of it when I go to clean and rebuild my hubs.
Another top choice would be a Marine Wheel bearing grease.

old skool campy grease...the white stuff...iirc, didn't it have whale or turtle oil in it?
doesn't really help the OP as it's not made anymore but it was great stuff despite its politically incorrect nature.
FWIW, I like Pedro's Syn Lube...

I like Finish Line White Bicycle Grease in a Tube. Easy to use, and makes my hubs run so smooth. Better than the old Campy White Grease we used to love.

Bel-Ray Blue.
Got it at a motorcycle store. Probably like the Kendall Super Blu.
Cleanup is easier then a Moly grease and a blue mess looks cleaner to me than a brown/black/grey mess.

Phil for sure. Never done me wrong. Plus it's like a friend, you just call it Phil.

Years ago (about 20) I was using Phil Wood grease until the R&D guy at a bicycle manufacturer directed me to the auto parts store. Since then, I haven't found anything to rival high temperature wheel bearing grease.

[Unpredictable]

I always used Phil....I'm going to give the Mobil 1 a try....Thanks

Phil. It smells like grease is supposed to!

[willmeeker]

like the mobil packaging but I use DuPont™ Teflon Grease. The white one.

[khjr]

All that are using automotive grease - how does it treat the rubber seals over time? I've been using Finish Line teflon for 2 decades because I know that it's gentle on rubber seals, but am curious as to experiences with the automotive products.

Also wondering if any of you have had any experiences with oil seperation. The original Finish Line grease would seperate somewhat over a few years, but I haven't had any issues with the teflon fortified version that's been out for quiet some time now. In automotive greases, I've had some modern Amsoil synthetic bearing greases that seperated a LOT - including one in a grease gun that dribbles oil while stored.

Grease is oil in 'soap'. Go to a car parts store or hardware store and get a tub of 'grease'. Lighter color the better, since you can tell when it's dirty. I use white lithium.
