Just had the bearings replaced in my new to me 2nd hand frame so not covered by the lifetime warranty.
How often do you need to grease the lower bearings?
The marine grease is nearly running out in the grease gun so as I'm going to get some of the mobil stuff for wheel hubs wondered if it would work ok or would be too thin in consistency?
If not which grease should I get, don't think Santa Cruz still sell the Marine Grease tubes anymore?
Sorry i don't know but where are you getting it from g-r.Been after some for a while but can only seem to find it in bulk.
Cheers..
Scrub that as just found some now on amazon.Never used to be there.. 😀
Some for sale on ebay, how much on amazon?

You pump grease in until it starts to come out around the bearings. I use a tube a year
None in stock there?
I bought some from somewhere recently but can't find the link doh Marine grease works the same. Don't use silicon
If you remember mate can you post on here ta.
Here obvious really

It's out of stock but contact them for restock date. Any water proof grease will do in the meantime
£10 for the big tube g-r..
Yeah just seen the Mobil on amazon, same price as ebay, same place I think.
Re the Marine grease, a lot of the tubes of Marine grease on google say its lithium based so that's ok to use then?
Think so g_r.
Bought from ebay.Thanks for reminding me that i wanted some. 🙂
LBS advised me to grease the bearings around once per month based on riding 2/3 times a week.
Ok thanks for that still looking for which cartridge of grease to use!
