Sorry for dredging this up but I thought I'd UTFS.
Does anyone know where I can get Phil Wood grease in the UK (or Europe)? I'm ideally after the 3oz cartridge rather than the 3oz tube.

You want to buy some boat trailer wheel bearing grease. Last time I looked, a kilo cost about the same as 100g of bike-specific stuff, but it's designed to drive at 70 down the motorway then in and out of sandy salt water...

it's not that great, cos it's very viscous, but it does work well and doesn't shift from where it lives in the bearings.

Anyone know if brixton cycles, Condor or anyone in London sells Phil Wood grease?

Brick lane sells a load of PW hubs so i'd imagine they would stock this too.

I think many people here are as likely to buy from messyrage as they would from BLB.
