In practice the reasons for incompatibility are mostly loss of specialist properties that are not required for a bicycle. | |

We don't do high temperature, high pressure or fast spinning. We don't need waterproof grease (if we get water in our bearings, we get grit in there as well). The best grease for a bicycle might last a little longer than a general-purpose automotive grease. | |
