Title: 'Grease' Is The Word
Post by: CustardLips on April 06, 2012, 03:56 PM

Got a 92' GT Interceptor (for a rider) last year, was gonna leave it as is then decided to get it powdered so i stripped it down. Decided to leave it as is again so i'm about to re-build it (With a few slight changes namely pedals, hubs, tyres and grips). Anyway, do i need to use any particular grease for the head-set and bottom bracket or will any do ?
      Cheers  :daumenhoch:
