Raiyn; I'm not trying to start a flame war with you. I thought, and still do though perhaps incorrectly, that marine trailer grease was thicker, or heavier weight if you like, then standard grease; "IF" this is the case then that heavier grease can damage smaller more fragile bearings...or if not damage the bearings, put more friction on the bearings thus the hub will not rotate as freely. I know and knew what Mr Brandt said in that article because I read it about 3 years ago and again before I responded to you on this subject; but that doesn't mean that everything Brandt says about anything bike related is 100% gospel truth, it just means that it works for him. If everyone listen to Brandt we all would be riding steel bikes with 36 spoke rims riding on Avocet tires and eating Medjool Dates on rides...hmm, well maybe he is right!
