Super greasy - tacky and my tools were a bear to clean. The spec meets Timken as well as Dexter's. I had been using Mystic JT6 #2 lithium complex but the last time I did the bearings, a glob on my bench it started separating which was not to my liking. I will say the bearings were fine but this time, not a lot of miles (~3K) just 2 years.
Now, as soon as it stops raining and snowing, I'll get the disc brakes replumbed and the 5er off the cribbing and jacks. The weather in Upstate NY can be interesting as it was in the mid 70s over the weekend. and now, maybe 38 and down into the 20s tonight. |
I've been using the Mystic as well and noticed the separation. I'll give the one you mention a shot. Thanks for the heads up on it. We're in upstate NY...for now, and the weather is crappy today.
