Hello Nick. The red bearing grease is generally a lithium-based grease. When filling your bearing buddies you do need to use the same lithium-based grease such as the Dexter Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease # DX64TR. You cannot mix dissimilar greases. The chart below will show you which grease types are compatible, and which aren't.

This is great thank you. Do you know of any ways that I could go about verifying which grease is already prepacked in the hubs?
