Recommend me...A tub of grease.
Spose this'll be for all those that service their own bikes etc. Sid, YC etc will prob be able to make some good suggestions. Whats the best for all round tasks? Y'know things that need doing etc on servicing.
Gonna be popping over to Mikes to learn a few bits off him. So gonna need some grease for certain tasks and will want it for myself for when I know how to do little bits. Will this do the trick...? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=150279857463 |

Re: Recommend me...A tub of grease.
Castrol LM or Putoline Multi-Purpose is what I use for general maintenance.

Re: Recommend me...A tub of grease.
Depends what you're doing with it really?
I normally have four types, General (or LM will do),bearing, red rubber and copper, they all have their own job to do. Cheers Mark.
