Default What grease do you use?

Right guys,

what grease do you use for your steering head bearing?

what grease do you use for a general purpose grease (for lubing things like your kick stand and brake / gear change pedal pivot shafts)?

Cheers.

Been using a high quality, anti-seize marine grease for years. I live in Humidityland... otherwise known as Florida. Use it on most things, never let me down.

I just cleaned my bearings and switched to Mobil 1 synthetic. I am a believer in Mobil 1 products and use them every chance I get.

I used wheel bearing grease in my neck when I had it apart this last winter. The summer has been a scorcher so far this year and the grease is still in there (about 6,000 miles).
