My personal go-to greases are SRAM butter for suspensions, Park Tool Polylube 1000 for assembly, and Bel-Ray marine grease for bearings. For lighter applications I use Phil Wood Tenacious Oil. Also, the HPH-1 was a fat-finger-fumble, and I really meant to type HPG-1.
No worries, I was probably a bit harsher than I should have been with that post.
I'm in the same boat with my X-RF8 and will probably find myself in the eternal grease struggle too, soon enough.
If I can get replacement bits.
