V4 Heaven Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Hi, Currently stripping the rear end of my R1. Mate suggests waterproof grease such as Castrol CL as it won't wash out like lithium soap grease. Has anyone used waterproof grease on their needle roller bearings?
will#224 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 No but the waterproof stuff can be a real pain to get off when you actually want to remove it.
David W Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 I use the Silkolene Red Racing Grease (forgot the name of it but it's not the stuff you use on brake calipers). It's a bit of a throwback to my offroad days I guess. Works a treat and doesn't wash off at all between rebuilds but comes off easy enough with degreaser.
