On my old non carbon pedals I used copper grease when installing, do you know if this can be used on carbon pedals ?

Is there a better alternative ?

Thanks

    If you're talking about greasing the pedal and crank arm threads, to help prevent seizing, then ANY grease or oil will do the job.

    Do these pedals have carbon axles?
    If no, yes it can .
    So can grease , wax , whatever stops seizing.

    Coppaslip is mainly composed of non-metallic compounds, with barely any copper or grease. Besides, pedal spindles are metal so no risk whatsoever.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
  • I use copper grease on my pedal treads. Works very well.

    I always use copper grease on my pedal threads. Never had issues.
