F.V.S.S. bearing grease

F.V.S.S. bearing grease provides great protection to your bearing by maintaining lubrication and adding an extra barrier that helps block dust/dirt to reach the deep groove. This grease is a light white and capable of performing at temps between -50°C to 150°C and ensures incredible smoothness, extending the life of your bearing. The grease is supplied in a syringe which makes it super easy to apply. The syringe holds 1 oz (19 g) of grease and ships as pictured minus the ziplock bag which includes a rubber sealing tip.
