Hub Bearing greese recommendations

[mike]

I am in the process of repacking the bearings in both hubs. The hubs
are using loose bearings, and have not been looked at in a few years.

What type of bearing grease should be used for this?
I was going to use a standard bearing and chassis grease, but I
believe this is a fair bit heavier then what was in the hubs
originally.

Real men use nothing but grizzly fat.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to

Bears shouldn't have to be killed for your selfishness.

BTW,
grizzly fat = Flammable

Might not be the best choice.
If I some how get caught on the trail, and have to repack my bearings
(not sure how or why this would ever happen), and I happen to have all
the tools required, this might be an ok idea to get home.
