    What grease for a Bendix hub?

    that thick brown grease might be old wheel bearing grease...either that you have will work, but of the two, i'd use the White Lithium (also, as already stated)

    What grease for a Bendix hub?

    i've used Park Tool grease, Synthetic automotive grease (Valvoline #985 is what i'm using now), NAPA Grease (#75-601)...i think any EP grease will work. I forgot to grease the shoes on a bike once (my own)...literally smoked the hub...wish I had a camera that day.

    144 spoke wheels

    depends on the bike...if you make the bike LOOK like a lowrider... coupled with WW and Fat Fenders, I don't think they are a bad look...plus you already have them (cost saver!) just my $.02

    making new paint look "old"

    Re: Niiiiiiiiiice instead of the desert, just send it this way...after a few Minnesota winters (and all the salt we dump on the roads) it'll look good-as-old! (I'll also store the bike/frame outside...mounted to the roof-rack of my car!) :D
