>Clymer PA Howard, Not sure if this is the same, but Sta-Lube used to sell a synthetic, poly-urea based grease that somebody at that Co. used to ship with a label calling it "Smurf C--", I'm sure he/they got fired over that once management found out. But it was about a "Smurf" blue color and very similar to the Park blue grease in that it was compatible with all other formulations...a big plus for me. I had no complaints with it, but it never gets that cold here in NoCal (at least where I ride) to tell you if it will harden in the cold...I suspect it will do just fine, though.
