My LBS uses and recommends Rock n Roll Super Web grease for any bearings. It DOES web. If you put a dab on your thumb and touch it with your forefinger it pulls a long string (web). In fact it can be aggrevating because it is hard to get loose from. Your work area starts to look like it's covered in spider webs. But that is what is supposed to make it so good. It really clings to the bearings, in a good way, not a sticky way, and provides excellent lubrication. Some of these guys are serious racers, and they do a lot of work for other local racers. For non-bearing applications I have been using Pro Gold EPX Cycle Grease, a nice medium weight grease. It does fine on bearings, too. I think it is made by the same company as Pro Link chain lube, but I'm not sure about that. The thing I find about greases and chain lubes is that different shops carry different brands, and it can be hard to track down a specific product.
FWIW,
Raymond
