Any suggestions for low-resistance but highly waterproof grease? Currently using Superlube synthetic great, which does seem to work pretty well, but there is always room for improvement. Highest washout resistance is the priority and low rolling resistance in fairly tiny bearings is second priority.

Anything better than super lube? I was thinking maybe some bicycle specific greases like Phil Wood, but those do thend to just be re-brands.
 
go on amazon and look up food grade grease,they have a variety of greases ,Schaeffers has some but you have to buy a lot,,,and check Ace hardware can get you some also.
 
Chances are your existing grease will work great. Not sure which product it is exactly, though. A bicycle is not a high stress application compared to a heavily loaded RV trailer axle towed at high speeds.

If you want best water resistance, it's hard to beat a polyurea based grease. Polyurea greases have really good water resistance, but may not be compatible with other greases, so be sure to clean the remove any existing grease.
