Any thoughts on low drag wheel bearing grease for tapered front bearings?
Also, there used to be a company (Sealsit, possibly?) that made a sealed bearing conversion for inside/outside tapered bearings? Thanks! -Al

Have used the Lamb grease before, however, there are improved products with new formulations such as the following:

When visiting Lambs shop several years ago I told him you are using the the same grease we use on our commercial jets and he quickly responded that's because that grease is designed to go from a stand still to 150mph in a second
![]() Never really thought about it that way before he said it! Dont know if that is the same they use today.

It’s always a GOOD DAY when talking to Betty Lamb on the phone. One winter during our conversation I told her it was 20 degrees here at home....She asked me WHY on earth would you live there ? Honestly, I didn’t know what to say....I do use and recommend their wheel bearing grease.....

The aircraft wheel bearing grease has a viscosity grade of 5. The normal dyno based, non-synthetic bearing grease is 2. The Lamb grease appears to have a viscosity of 1. MicroBlue has 00, 0 and 1 viscosity grades available. |

A very good bearing grease for racing only is Kluber Lubrication Isoflex NBU 15. It is expensive, but very good for the application.

Speaking of wheel bearings don't forget the ones on your trailer.
