I'm looking for an alternative to the grease that CYC specify for the gear meshes of the Photon (gen 1). A search of the various CYC threads pulled up some mentions of grease, but mostly with reference to the sprag clutches.
For the gear mesh CYC specify EccoGrease MP135-2P-G2 or Kluber ISOFlexx Topas NB152, neither of which are available in my location. I've approached the local importer, the Kluber office in country, and CYC directly with no answers forthcoming from any. (The CYC importer did send me 2 packets of grease, but they were the silicone high vacuum grease used on the pedal spindle and bearing covers.
So, I'm looking for something suitable as an alternative so I can re-grease and assemble a motor.
Anybody found a suitable alternative?
EccoGrease MP135-2P-G2: Lithium/Calcium thickener, synthetic oil of unknown viscosity, NLGI 2 consistency, colour: yellow.
Kluber ISOFlexx Topas NB152: Barium complex thickener, synthetic hydrocarbon oil ISO 100 viscosity @40 degrees C (ISO150 @100C), NLGI 2 consistency, colour: beige. (Barium complex is borderline compatible with Lithium/lithium complex greases. Apparently.)
