Which grease do you guys think is better for bearings ?? Lithium or Teflon ??
I have a choice of
Exustar Lithium Grease
Finish Line Teflon Grease
I can also get (not sure what these two are though)
Pedros Syn Grease
Rock N Roll Red Devil Grease
Exustar PTFE Grease
I do have some of the finish line teflon grease but if one of the others are better for bearings i'll get it. When ever i see picture of grease being used on bearings it looks thicker than the finish line stuff.

Might as well use your finsih line stuff - its a good all round grease. Lithium limited to bearings only - and even then it can rot seals.0

Can you expand on that? I've been using a lithium based grease for just about everything! (pedals, bolts, headsets etc)
When is it not appropriate?0 -
Never use it on static components - it can weld metals toghether. It also dries out quick.0
