Use good quality disk brake grease on the front bearings. The rear bearings are not accessible and there are no grease fittings. The rear wheel bearing seals are very well protected and they seldom need service. I just replaced my rear bearings at 278K, they hadn't failed and showed very little wear. It was just on my list to finish restoration (last item thank God).
