It was runny enough to make nice stripes down the outside of my tyre.
I thought it was swivel grease to start with but that would be on the inside of the tyre, and there's no grease on the discs or brakes. But once I took the wheel off the inside of the wheel is totally covered and you can see from the picture all the fresh grease around the hub seal.

I didn't know that, but that's not saying much cos there's not a lot I do know...

The bearings where lubed with grease gun grease.. The stuff that was leaked all over the place was black like one shot.
