I'm due a refill on grease so I'll take one if I can pick it up from you in London somewhere. Out of interest, any thoughts on this article that suggests that Lithium EP grease (like the Shell stuff) may be less good than standard Lithium grease?

I think he worries too much about ball skidding, and we have addressed his worries about MoS₂ or Ca-soap greases being too thick by selecting the appropriate NLGI number.

My layman opinion would be that we're all too heavy, and too slow, with not enough power for noticeable ball skidding.
