Don't be an ol'g(r)eezer: What grease do you use?

Hi all,

What brand of grease do you use?

Do you use different grease for different parts?

I am asking because I used to use graphite grease for hubs, BBs, headsets, even shifters thinking it was a very good option (in fact Campagnolo used it by default to its hubs in the past). But I found out that in fact, it's realy very sticky and collects a lot of mud especially on the bottom headset cup wearing out the bearings really fast.

So I am after recommendations or a better understanding of whether you have found a solution that works for you.

Cheers!

Loads of threads on here covering grease, one here but many more -

 
Thanks @mk one!

I searched for threads on grease before creating this one but didn't see the one you send me which is also very recent.

I guess it makes sense to delete this thread now.
 
Green grease 101. NGLI 1.5, very waterproof, tacky. New and older bearings get fully stuffed. Slickoleum/slick honey for fork seals.
