Review of Phil Wood 3-Ounce Grease Tube

Customer Ratings:

This is a great product. I had the most irritating squeak in my bike and it took me forever to discover that it came from the pedal threads. Once I pinpointed the source, all I had to do was to remove them, apply a bit of Phil's Grease and put them back. Now I have a silent bike again.

This is a green, waterproof grease. The consistency is right and it is easy to apply. The tube is plastic (not metallic), which means it will come back to shape after use. Also, it seems to last forever, since the amount usually required to do the job is very small.

When I was just working on one bike (well, one and a half since the other didn't get as much use), a tube of this grease lasted me a loooong time. So if you have one bike and only rarely work on others, this cost isn't too bad because the tube will last you for a few seasons. Over the past couple weeks, I've overhauled/rebuilt 6 bikes and I consumed this stuff really fast!

I'm not convinced that this grease is super special, but it comes in a convenient container. But if you consume a lot of grease, then a marine grease that costs a fraction of the price can be had at almost any auto store (or almost any store with an auto section). I found some that was almost exactly the same consistency as this grease (except it's blue instead of green). I repacked one of my dad's bike's wheel bearings with it and it rolls better than it ever has (my dad has a standard "test").

Anyway, convenient tube, but this just isn't a great value for a waterproof grease.

Best Deals for Phil Wood 3-Ounce Grease Tube

This product has been around for decades and by no accident. Working in conjunction with Chevron, the people at Phil Wood asked Chevron to produce a superior grease within their lab principally for bicycle bearing application that upon surface contact with bearing system bearing, race, cone, and other application peculiar to bicycles would, without being sticky and thusly slow down momentum or efffect resistance immediately adhere to surface and not "wash out" under sheer load which is the single greatest threat in bearing systems, as well, demonstrate superior resistance to water. Chevron worked their magic and the consumer who uses Phil Wood Grease has always been the beneficiary of this Nonpareil product.

Everything about this product is exceptional.

Honest reviews on Phil Wood 3-Ounce Grease Tube

I don't know how it holds up in the long run. I've used it on all the threads when I was building up my bike. The tube should be plenty for general upkeep of a bike. The label say it's function as a grease and water repellent abilities will hold true until it gets exposed to dirt. Well I hope it will last for half a year a least.

I use this grease for bottom brackets, pedals, brake attachments to braze-ons, seatposts, stem insertion and for any screw on attachments to frame. This grease has been in use for years by some of the best shops in the business. While many cyclists say that they use much cheaper lubricants, I have no problem spending a little extra for a product that has been time tested by the best.
