White lithium grease

[Minskleip]

Got any suggestions for keyboard friendly white lithium grease which are available in Europe? Shipping a $4 item for $30 from Amazon.com is a bit silly, so hoping to find something more local.

White Lithium grease is very good grease for low RPM bearing surfaces because it has a high resistance to water intrusion. However at high RPM's its very bad because the lithium (metal) will eat into both the balls and races of common bearings, drastically reducing the life expectancy of the bearings. On a bicycle you would use white lithium on your headset and seat post but not your hubs or bottom bracket.

RPM? Aren't we talking about keyboards?

No, obviously about skateboards:

I've recently puchased some Schunk two jaw chucks that arrived with a white lithium grease. We currently use a red lithium grease on our old chucks. Does anybody know what the difference is and is one better than the other?

Lithium grease is so Mainstream.

Silicone grease is the new Hipster favorite:
