I'm very surprised Mobil 1 Red is used on anyones bike! That's a high temp grease and will actually slow your bearings because it'll be so dense/thick! No part of your bike will make that grease ideal even in 115 degrees going at 40 mph for an hour.

Unfortunately there's no "green" grease that's bio-degradable and able to compete with synthetic greases. So you'll have to re-pack your wheel bearings 100x more often!

I'd like to point out Super Lube. Not as expensive as Shimano Dura-Ace, waterproof, long lasting, and certainly smooth.
