So I have my fixer upper bike to the point that I am about to reassemble it. What kind of grease for hubs, crank, and fork? Will this work ( http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/de ... ku=0604207 )? Or is it overkill? Thanks in advance!!

Any grease works, some better than others. I always say use the grease you have. I used some cheap wheel bearing grease till it ran out, now I buy bicycle grease.
That stuff will probably be fine. This is what I use. Par k Polylube

That does sound like pretty heavy duty applications! I use a red valvoline universal auto grease that I swear by. The exact kind I get was discontinued but I buy ever container I come across when stores have stragglers :lol: I think the big thing is that it's not too tacky. It seems to be yellow greases that are overly tacky and will cause brake shoes to stick in place. I've pulled apart some parts before with some nasty stuff that seems like it would have been used on bearings in the USS Arizona..
green farm implement grease. never hardens and sticks to everything as well as being able to be submerged under water. We use to use it on our submerged well pumps all the time. Autozone and Home Depot carry it.
