Hey,

Im new to biking so quite clueless

Just got some new pedals coming tomorrow and obv i need to grease the threads so they dont sieze up when screwed on

Is it really best to go buy copper grease or will lithum grease do that ive already got?

Cheers

    anything is better than nothing. if you dont want to use an anti seize then use the grease.

    Lithium grease should be fine, but buy yourself a tube of bike specific stuff, Finish Line or Motorex is good, a tube will cost about £8 and last for ages

    A small tube of Copper grease (20grams) cost me less than £2 from my local bike shop so it might be worth picking some up if our LBS is close and they have some.
