As usual, I tend to overthink things...
Realistically, in my opinion, with modern greases, any grease I choose should be better than what was around when the deuce was manufactured, but that's not always the case....
So, I'm looking at bearing grease.... and the options are endless..
Lithium, with moly, no moly, low moly, high moly, urea based, synthetic, and on and on and on....
I've searched everywhere, including other sites and even youtube and everyone has their own opinion, or just says 'it doesn't matter, just make sure you use the correct type of grease'.....
It would seem to me, that a high temp synthetic grease would be the way to go.... would it not? Are there compatibility issues like with the GO and not being safe for use with older metals? What about mixing grease? If I'm topping off grease do I have to worry about mixing the old and new and them not being compatible? Are there any issues running 'high temp grease' in applications that would normally call for a lower temp grease?
I was looking pretty hard atLucas Red n Tacky, but then also saw Mystik JT6 that seemed almost identical in spec..... but then fell down the rabbit hole...
Any insight?
