well grease for Hubs and headsets. Needs to be thick and waterproof. I used to have some great red stuff but cant remember what it was called. A quick look at CRC has confused me!

for the bearings in the hub, you use lithium grease, for the headset, i don't know i'd guess the same?

Silkolene PRO RG2 is great for both. Get it from motorbike shops for about a tenner. Stay away from the thin white litium grease that comes with bearing sets (like Weldtite). It gets forced out very easily and isn't very resistant to water ingress.

I use Finish Line Teflon grease for loads of things - seems to work well
