Bikes: See my sig...

Any automotive grade bearing grease will be more than sufficient in a bicycle application due to the relatively low load requirements of a bicycle vs an automobile which has to deal with high speeds and high temperatures.

Primary concern in bicycle grease is a resistance to washout and contamination and marine axle bearing grease is considered to be the best due to it possessing these properties... synthetic grades are preferable when one's cycling is done in all seasons and where one might be running their bike at -40C.
