No, it's not a particularly durable grease, and there are certainly lots of better greases out there for bicycle bearing applications.
And ironically, it was a good grease for racing applications, which I'd noted in my first post on this thread (you were responding to the second) because of its low viscosity and thus slightly lowered rolling resistance in the wheelbearings.
