It's not ideal, but if the economics don't work (as they won't in most non-first world countries, or even in poorer areas of first world countries), you gotta do what you gotta do. | |

| May 13, 2015 at 20:56 | comment | added | Alexander | @DanielRHicks This question is because I own a LBS. Now in our country all the LBS using a grease designed for vehicles. And yes, for me parktool grease cost about 10 times more. | |

| May 13, 2015 at 11:33 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | For the amount of grease you use on a bike there's no point is being stingy. Bike grease is selected for bike service -- more water-resistant, less apt to "run", not compromised by the auto requirement to endure high bearing temperatures. | |
