The primary purpose of grease is lubrication. Grease is just very thick oil. Not quite, Theo. In common english usage, "grease" can refer to solid oils, such as animal fat. But lubricating "grease" is completely different. It just looks the same, hence the same name. As he said, its oil + thickeners. http://www.lubems.com/Composition.htm |

I believe the context of the discussion was grease as used on bicycles. I don't think anyone was advocating the use of chicken fat in their bottom bracket. :-) Theo |

Is it ok to hose a bike to clean it? Yes, but use a low pressure garden hose and try not to concentrate the stream at the hubs, bottom bracket or steerer tube. A shimano team mechanic I was talking with a few years ago said that he only ever used a bucket, a small amount of dishwashing detergent and a large soft brush (like a dustpan brush). The point was that he washed and serviced the team bikes after *every* ride, so the dirt was never caked on to a point that it had to be blasted off Al. |
