Common Questions and former stickies. / Lube, Grease, and Whatnot

I agree that finish line grease is a bit thin - washes out of bearings too easily.
I'm currently using MAKT suspension fork grease in everything. Used it in a headest when I ran out of other grease and it worked really well (stays in place and doesn't seem to degrade as badly as finish line). Nice blue colour also, if that matters to you?
Tend to use 3in1 oil in cables, that or finish line XC wet lube, whichever I find first in the cellar. For my chain I go for wet lube and wipe off the excess after it's had a while to seep in. On the mountain bike I tend to do the chain and cables with GT85 before and after a ride because its quick, easy and very cheap.
