Grease - Teflon or Lithium ?

[Chess]

Hi all.
Wanting to know from you knowledgeable friends on here which is best to use and where you get it from please ?
It's for the hub bearings and bottom bracket on my Boardman CX which I use for my daily commute, so all weathers really.
Checked my rear hub yesterday after I noticed a scraping noise by popping the seal on the non drive side and was shocked to find very little to no grease in there - it was almost completely dry.
The sad thing is, the bike is only 4 months old from new, I really expected a better build quality / control from a decent manufacturer.
Now I'm worried about any excessive wear this may have caused and I'm going to have to check the whole bike sometime soon.
Anyway, recommendations on the grease and a link greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Dale.

I use Lithium spray grease, from any Halfords.

We use this on the motorcycle headbearings etc, one tube should last you a lifetime!.

Very good qualiy grease.

This has its own applicator. Great for delivering the right amount in the right place. Very little mess too.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301652610608

I've used something similar to that in the past, not a bad way of doing it.

I would use a lithium based grease, the thicker the better. Many years ago Phil Wood waterproof grease was highly recommended, it's still available but appears to be prohibitively expensive through Amazon. I've still got some Nimrod superfine waterproof grease left, which is very good and thick. Nimrod grease of a different type is available from Condor Cycles, so I guess it could be quite good too. When my Nimrod grease runs out I'll just use one of the old Castrol or Duckhams lithium greases which I bought a long time ago when I did my own car servicing. I wouldn't use a spray-on grease as I don't think it would be thick enough.

3-IN-ONE Professional White Lithium Grease

I think you'd have a bit of an issue packing grease from that spray can into cup and cone hub and bottom bracket bearings.

Thanks all for the great tips and advice.
Decided to get both. Lithium for the bearings and Teflon for everything else.
