In fact, I may switch over to using Super Lube silicone based synthetic grease with teflon for all my bearings as the search I did revealed good reviews on the product. I see Ben4345 is using it. Anyone else? Any reports good or bad?

Super Lube grease is really good stuff, even you don't use it for your bike, it is a great to have around the house too. I have used it on a lot of things, very versatile.
