FOAK - Grease

I'm rebuilding a sidecar and I've cleaned up the hub and bearings , so
what grease should be used on the Timken roller bearings?
I've got loads of Universal LM2 and not much else.

I've used that on wheel and steering head bearings. It'll be fine.

 

Think back to the good old days (pre bike days even) where the forefathers
of the FOAK used melted horses to grease the wheel bearing on their carts.

Your sidecar outfit is probably not going to go much more quickly than one
of those carts, so a mixture of butter and blitzed horse would work, making
the use of any OTC grease a luxury.
