Hi Hubbers.

I also use this. A very nice grease for headsets, SPD pedals, hubs, etc. I haven't had any issues with it.

I use a few grease options. This one is great for spd and volume applications.

have heard only great reviews.. Certain parts i want to see how much grease is still on and the colour helps with the blue. Looks like the Maxima is the only non "natural" colour.

Thx all. I was not aware that the Belray was also "blue"....I prefer the blue as one can see where and how much grease is on parts. I'm now splitting hairs but It helps sometimes to see what sections of greased parts are dirty and whats still clean.  Not everyone will understand this, but there may be a few pedantic people out there that may know what I'm trying to say.

The guys at Enduro Shop in boksburg got me a tub of motorex fett 2000 grease.They have stock from what I saw. Green in colour. Also a good grease if you want to split hair over grease????

So any marine grade grease will be dyed blue to indicate its for marine use.

basically you looking for lithium soap grease. You can get great products that meet your needs at midas. fforbicycle bearings nlgi 1 is a good consistency

I use this; quite thick and sticky though.  Those who say "waterproof" Johan Borman will come to haunt you; he maintained that there was no such thing and no one argued with Johan and won that I saw.
