How much and what type of grease did you use? how was the gear wear when you next stripped it down?

Just some lithium grease i had lying around. I only sripped it down 3 times in the time i had it, but the gears (while slightly discoloured from the blue grease) were untouched.
And you can get a lot of powder before you start to see the damage to the tooth flanks.
