nowgrounded Posted January 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 14, 2007 Why can I not find lythium soap base grease? I can find white lythium grease and just lythium grease but no lythium soap base grease. Does someone know the difference between these two? Any knowledge offered is appreciated.

Did this last year on my rear tire change and been running quiet ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill04 Posted January 14, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2007 You want to wash the stuff off of anything ore almost WD40 man that stuff is good for a lot of purpose . I use it for the spring cleaning for removing all the dirt and grime from under the bike , the rear wheel just make sure not to spray it on the brake pads and rotors LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarley Bill Posted January 15, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 15, 2007 most grease is soap base .thats what they use to make it thick.the new high moly base greases may use some other chemical to make them thick.i would look for a good moly base grease for the splines.i use moly brake caliper grease from auto zone.it contains moly,ptf,and grafite.it is high temp and won't sling off.it has a brush to apply it and is ultra pasty.bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
