Common Questions and former stickies. / Lube, Grease, and Whatnot

thanks for the advice .  

the mail-order website ran out of stock phil wood grease. what's the next best waterproof grease option? is tri-flow's synthetic grease with teflon a good substitute? (edit: what about Motorex PrepM?)

unsure if this mentioned in previous threads; what's white grease? what are they meant for? (edit: is it the same as silicone grease? i've tried the wikipedia)

You guys make it too complicated.

All you really need is:


White Lightening for chain and cables

Sheep, which White Ligtning is it? Self-Cleaning Wax Lub, or Epic?

and what does ORM-D mean?

thanks.

what's the preferred lub for brake cables? grease? lub with teflon? thin oil?

i've never tried thin-oil,but cables with grease and teflon felt the same. so, please correct me. thanks.
