reccomended grease for campag 2nd gen ergo lever refurb
hello
I have acquired a pair of 1999 campagnolo mirage 9 spd ergo levers. I will be stripping the R/H lever to service springs etc. I did this a few months back with the pair on my bike and I used automotive graphite grease (all i had to hand in garage) bunged in everywhere on the internals, so far so good.
This time I am considering using finish line teflon grease as its only a 10 ner or so a tube. Does anyone know if finish line's the way to go or stick with the graphite grease i have in the garage? I see the campag grease is for sale but 20 odd quid for a small tube seems a bit excessive.
thanks

Caveat - I buy and ride cheap, however, I reserve the right to advise on expensive kit that I have never actually used and possibly never will

If it worked fine before, why change?
And a tenner for a tube of grease? Seriously?
If you really want Teflon grease, just go on the net or to your local motor factor and buy a tub for a fiver -remember that the minute it goes in a cycling branded tunbe that's a 50% increase in price straightawayPostby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Fair point with the price and branding. I removed the r/h hood yesterday as its ripped, replaced it with a slightly less knackered one. Had and had a good look at the internals, the graphite grease is perfect still. Your right, stick with it.
