It'll be just fine, I use that grease on all my rain bikes. I would recommend a general rule that the smaller the bearing the thinner the coat. You don't need to just pack the bearings like some folks do and a little bit will go a long way. If you do pack it in the bearings will feel stiff for the first few days, but they will loosen up after that. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Vancouver, B.C.
