What kind of grease should I use for a head Set?
I have just about everything you could ever need for working on cars and then some. Working on bikes is kind of new to me.....
That being said, the old grease that was on the head set bearings reminds me a lot of wheel bearing grease and I have plenty of that in my stable.
So, Would it be acceptable to use wheel bearing grease for this or is there a better product for specific reasons?
Tanks!😀
 
Park Tools Bike grease looks like grease that I use on my boat, Marine grease is 1/2 $😀

I've used Butt-Butt'r to lube Fred's headset. Oh yes I did! It was an emergency and taught him a lesson.

Whatever you have that resembles bearing grease is likely fine.

😀 I like where this thread is heading LMAO!

Thanks for the responses guys. I used the wheel bearing grease. If it can handle the heat and the weather under a car....it can handle a head set I figure.
 
I use white lithium grease. It is good stuff and pretty cheap too. it is goodfor metal to metal contact and, to the best of my knowledge, is good for preventing gailing. Never had a aluminim seat post stuck when lightly coated with white lithium grease.
 
I am going to be repacking a Cane creek headset with non-cartridge bearings.
Grease options I have on hand are Buzzy's Slick Honey and Park Poly Lube 100- will either of these work, or should I use something heavier?
