Hi all,

I'm fitting a new bottom bracket and forgot to take note what was lubing the bracket threads. Its an external cartridge bearing style bracket that screws into the BB shell. What is best to use? stndard grease, copper slip/anti seize, threadlocker (242,243)? Something else ?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers !

    why? you do not need to lubricate a thread! you only want to make sure it does not Sieze.
