Review by SWF RiderReviewed 12/29/2023by SWF RiderCycling EnthusiastSW FloridaMore than special, Excellent!The Shimano Dura-Ace Special Grease is my new favorite grease for servicing bottom brackets, wheel bearings and small parts.
Low friction qualities reduced the rolling resistance with application to my wheel bearings. the tip allowed for pinpoint application where needed.
You need a fair amount of pressure to get the tube started applying grease, but that worked for me.
The volume is plenty for my intended use.
Worth the price to have in your lubing arsenal.

Review by Joe KingReviewed 5/5/2011by Joe King (BikeTiresDirect.com Staff)Competitive RacerPortland, OR14 of 23 customers found this review helpful.The 'Classics' Mystery Lube!!!!A mysterious thick, green chain grease has appeared on Shimano sponsored pro bikes when the weather turns for the worse. There has been much speculation as to what this greaselube is. Team mechanics typically say it's just something Shimano gives them for rainy racing. Shimano was silent about it, as usual.
And then this appeared, the holy grail of keeping a chain running smoothly for long rides in the worst weather.
This is serious stuff. Much MUCH thicker than any other chain lube available. This is the kind of stuff cranky old European mechanics use diesel fuel to clean off after each ride.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/26/2020by AnonymousTampa Bay1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Love it! Love this grease for hubs, Crankset, bottom bracket, headset, . Clean and smooth and the tube makes it easy to get it where you want it. I have used the Phil green tube for years and it's awesome too. Glad I came across this and will continue to use it.

Review by swimmerbobReviewed 12/9/2018by swimmerbobCycling Enthusiastsan diego ca1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.similar to splippery spitt?similar to the thick, green 'slippery spitt' by shimano's workshop. still have some of that, but can't find it anymore. i believe it is a transparent, semi-synthetic liquid lube made for chains and cogs. can also be used to thin automotive semi-synthetic greases (for use on finer surfacestolerances).

Review by BryanReviewed 9/1/2023by BryanCycling EnthusiastPortland, ORGrease Perfection in a TubeThis is the grease to service your Shimano cup & cone hubs (and plenty of other uses based on other reviews). And it's in a tube!? - so convenient!
