  • It smells pretty good.
    I wonder what it tastes like....

  • chicken

  • my grandad had a massive tub of bearing grease he liberated from british rail it looked exactly like butterscotch, it doesn't taste like it though.

  • hah, i have a tube of it sitting on my bookshelf next to me, just picked it up and sniffed it. it does smell pretty good...

  • Like instant coffee.. smells nice, tastes fecking 'orrible

  • is it any good for hubs? the waterproof stuff, that is...

  • yes, but dura-ace grease is better for looseball bearings

  • hmmm...
    but pw isn't crap, is it?

  • 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.

  • condor?

  • 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...

  • Brixton Cycles me thinks

    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.

  • ^ true say that.
    or order online in the UK if i cant buy in London?

  • I would call Condor. Bet they stock it.

  • condor do indeed sell it, but it was not listed on website. £9.99.

  • yes! thanks for that konastab.
