I guess there's at least one reason for using un-lined housings. If you're a nut, like me.
I draw the line at period-correct grease though...

I still like Super Lube as well (spray). Used to use it on the chain all the time, still use it for brake pivots, derailleur pivots, etc. Got some of their grease not too long ago, have used it on some stuff, time will tell.

Only thing I noticed about Super Lube in the tube is it tends to separate a bit. Many greases do I guess. My tube is at least 10 years old.
