- and though it's more expensive than other bearing greases, it's
still a lot cheaper than any bike-specific branded grease.

I use Amsoil's Synethetic Lithium Complex, highest flash point, greatest resistance to compression (designed for brakes/suspension and hydraulics) and to water. To clean parts and lubricate cables I use Amsoil's Multi-Purpose *FULL* synthetic and for hinges and thread protection I slap a quick shot of Amsoil MP HD - another FULL synthetic.
