Use what you got or can get. Supposedly lithium grease ages rubber faster so I don't use it in sensitive areas like suspension.
It's more important that the bearings are clean and packed with fresh grease then having phil wood grease or some other super omega expensive grease.
I have noticed if you live in a hot area grease can weep out of headsets.
So look for dirty spots underneath the headset or BB if a bike has been sitting, and it may need grease

So, been reading about the stuff, and takeaways so far are:
>lithium is not the actual lub, but the thickener
>some claim it actually potentiates galvanic corrosion rather than prevent it, though
>it's what's overwhelmingly used worldwide, across the board, though, and there's not much alternatives in the market, so
>it's getting expensive, thanks to muh e-brainwashing, and will only get worse, meaning
>there's a mad rush for alternatives, going on:
https://www.lubesngreases.com/magazine/23_5/the-hunt-for-lithium-alternatives/
>bike grease 2000 is actually calcium based, not lithium
>"leet" stuff is an absolute joke, going for hundreds of €/kg; so you probably need a legal douche certificate to get it
>>1952838
>>1952852
Phil Wood is actually about the same price as motorex and other dedicated brands here: 80ish to 100€/kg
>>1952996
LM is about same price as brands above
Cheapest known brand I could find (other than random local brand-names that don't have any actual info available on the stuff) is the Petronas Tutela SP (picrel); it's for chassis (blade suspensions, cv joints and such), but apparently better(?) than ball bearing specific GP
https://epliportal.pli-petronas.com/ePliAPI/api/publicApi/DownloadDocumentById?documentId=2e91bd8f-7fae-4f1c-764e-08da89c00eda
https://fdocuments.net/document/petronas-tutela-gp-and-sp-grease-tutela-gp-and-sp-grease-whilst-petronas-tutela.html
At 10€/kg, at least it won't break the bank, so I'll either try that one next, or just keep going for the motorex.

I literally use the red bearing grease I got in an auction dirt cheap.
Before that I use the yellow stuff the company had before it shut down.
After both of these go out, and I somehow go through other stuff I will go to my local auto parts store and get a tub.
This will probably be in 1-2 decades.

industrial maintenance here, we use the same grease for everything, cheap NLG2 Lithium grease. doesn't matter if the bearings are small or the size of my head. for slides and ways, joints and shafts all the same.

Only special stuff maybe gets Li grease with EP additives or Mos2 but then were talking about a few tons of weight on the bearing and >1K RPM. and then tose greases are from big company's like BP, Shell, Dow, Fuchs. and not from who the fuck is Chris king. (he probably buys it from the former company's)

For a bicycle the cheap stuff will work definitely, however industrial stuff all has zerk fittings you just putt new grease in with a grease gun every few weeks the big benefit is it pushes out dirty grease.
if i ever build a custom frame it would get some for the bottom braked.

btw a while ago a guy in a German bicycle forum said he works for a grease manufacturer, and that they collect all the leftover greases from the machines in a big tank and once a year they send everything through a blender and mix in some PTFE and bottle it as bike lube.

If it's the same type of grease being mixed every time it makes sense, I don't think batch numbers etc really matter for bikes. I don't believe that it'd just be a random mix of greases, consistency has to be somewhat there and I don't think mixing inconsistent amounts of waste chemicals is exactly encouraged.

Plus the whole "I work in a grease factory, trust me bro" element.

I suppose for racing or club riding it would be better to have "faster" lube in hubs and the like. I use marine grease for my commuters and touring bikes and only notice that the grease stays fresher longer. I use it for seat posts and such on all of my bikes though, I really don't think it's that critical.

but this thing is a oilier, with a little helmet to stop dust getting into it. a grease fitting would not work the grease would go into the tubes and not the bearing, the oil flows into the bearings.

>tubes?
where do you think the grease will go if you put a grease fitting here and pump grease in .

hint: not in the bearings before the whole frame is full of grease.

so grease would go into tubes, but oil doesn't?...
anyway, like I said, disassemble, grease, reassemble, or just plug the tubes and lube through ports.

btw, that looks like a standard bsa24 bb, for which there's millions of sealed bearing cups to choose from, from as low as 5 bucks (yes), to whatever you can afford and beyond.

I guess excess oil would drip out as opposed to grease. You could get a grease nipple to work if you use a cartridge bb and somehow adapt it in a way that grease gets fed into it. A cup and cone bb wouldn't contain the grease.

if grease has good consistency it will retain it (better than oil, for sure), but, like I said, that bb looks like a run-of-the-mill bsa24, for which there's countless sealed bearing cups available, for pretty much every crank standard possible; heck there's even bsa30 cups that'll fit there.

i still think we should put grease fittings on bike bearings.

on industrial stuff its just the standard thing no matter if sealed or not, if it spins at 2 rpm or 3k rpm if it is used for 1 hour a day or 24, if it carries no weight or tons, they come with grease fittings.

just gif it a squeeze of grease once a year and wipe off the dirty grease that comes out and you would never have to repack the bearing and it would last longer than the frame.

using a small tube with a nozzle is the best because you can apply it cleanly and fast.

grease guns also mostly kinda suck.

also pfte is basically like nuclear waste in how many centuries it lasts for and what kind of crazy shit like cause cancer it does.

but pfte bicycle specific fancy greases in little tubes with nozzles are the absolute king if you want to be fast.

just use a different big thing of grease with no pfte for threads and miscellaneous stuff and janky bikes.

chain waxing is the new thing for pro cycling teams.
besides muh milliseconds/watts gain, the main benefit for everyone else is chain won't get dirty like with chain lube.

haven't read anything to that effect, only that's it's high-maintenance, with suggestions to keep multiple chains ready, though none of
that matters for pro teams

Suntour did this ~30 years ago. Vented bolts, cross-drilled axle, extra seals.
The large seals go on the innermost axle shoulder, the medium ones go in the holes in the cups, the small ones go under the hex heads of the crank bolts.

New grease goes in the crank bolt w/ a flush type nozzle, old grease oozes out from around the a axle/cup seal. No ball bearing/spring in the bolt, it's mostly protected by the crank dust caps.

Hubs w/ this system did have balls in the grease fittings.
You had to use a nozzle several inches long, and reach in from the opposite side through the spokes.
