Bottom Brackets, Headsets, and Hubs as stated?

Or do you use it on other things as well?

What do you use it for?

I just use it for anything that needs a thicker grease, seatpost, headset etc. You don't need to grease up your bike every ride btw. Just wash it hit it with some dry lube wipe away the excess and then hit it with some grease every now and then.

If you do everything like the recommended you'll be doing more cleaning than riding.
I use it on all my bolts and anywhere creaks could form, seatpost, seat clamps, headtube, bb, etc. It can't hurt anything as far as I know, unless you get it on your rotors or bp's.
I use it on my pedals as well. Crankarm spindles, bottom bracket threads. Be cautious though, if you have a white frame it will permanently stain the frame a greenish-brown color wherever the grease sat on the frame for awhile. I've had 2 frames stained by this near the seattube and bottom bracket. My LBS went to a clear grease that is odorless and will not stain.
Pretty much on everything that needs lube excluding the chain and cables. They get lighter stuff. Also on anything that screws in that I'd like to get out again gets a bit of grease.

What do you have stock in the company? Take it easy on this stuff you don't need that much.

LBS fault when they built the bikes, happened before I got them. Since they were special order I manned up and bought the bikes as-is to save the hassle and multiple week wait.
