best type of grease for idler wheels? Is high speed red ok? Something better? Preferably in a tub? Local Oriley’s is probably where I’ll go

Whatever you go with get waterproof... Not sure even at 112 mph that the bearings are turning fast enough to be deemed high speed though. More so the low temperature and moist environment that wacks the grease and turns it into peanut butter then washes it out.
I have had good luck using Amzoil low temp waterproof or Belray waterproof in my wheels.
TIP, don't pack the bearing solid, gotta have room or an air gap for the grease to flow around in.
