Hi, whilst my cassette is off and I'm sorting out the spokes in my rear wheel I thought I would strip, clean and regrease the rear bearings in my Cannondale, Coda hub.

I cleaned everything out, checked for signs of wear and everything seems good, I want to regrease the ball bearings and rollers before I put everything back together.

The question I ask is, I have a tub of car grease, Castrol LM that I use for doing car wheel bearings and was wondering if it's suitable for use in the rear hub or should I get a bike specific grease?

Cheers.

Hi surreypete i recomended this .

i used this grease and works great

I used generic bearing grease (got a small amount from our university's mech workshop) but recently bought grease by Dynamics

There's probably some reasons bike specific grease is better under certain situations. But auto bearing grease is good quality and will work fine.
