Surprised that the smell of white lithium grease smells bad to you. The Lucas heavy-duty polyurea smells bad in my opinion (their red&tacky only smells marginally better).
Yes, I'm a grease sniffer. LOL
Fresh white lithium grease is fine, but when i crack open some old bike's headset, and the PO had packed it with white lithium grease, which has since turned cream/brown swirls, and stinks like long-dead tuna?
That smell bothers me a little bit.
