Grease recommendation

[Godwin]

I'm going to be fixing up an older Trek mountain bike, installing new components but also cleaning and reusing the pedals and headset. What's a good grease to use?

I've been using standard bearing grease from napa for years for pedal and headsets, and bolt threads. A lighter grease or heavy oil for freewheel pawls. And a light grease for suspension pivots.

I've rebuilt many bikes and have always used Phil Wood Waterproof Grease. $11 for a tube on Amazon.

I still have the first tube in my top box that I bought from Phil himself back in the 70's (although I've purchased several more tubes since then)

Park Tool PolyLube 1000 is a standard, go-to grease in most shops. Phil's Waterproof Grease is awesome, but you may want to save that for just the headset and bottom bracket, as PolyLube is cheaper.

Went with the Phil's Waterproof Grease.
