Is Loctite Anti-Seize Copper Lubricant any good on pedal threads for attaching pedals to cranks?

I'm talking about this one here:

The dispenser seems to be a Pritt-Stick style tube, although you don't appear to get much grease for the price!

    Yes you can use that, it is just a different method of packaging, as opposed to buying it in a 500g tub which works out cheaper and will last years.

    There is also this which you should be able to obtain in your LBS.

  • This is better value. Bought a tub this size 20 years ago -almost finished it now.

  • Thanks everyone. I picked up a couple of tubes over lunch from my local Halfords - I made a big order with Wiggle for bits and bobs last night but forgot to order some grease. I don't ride as much as most on here so I'll see how it goes with the small tubes and will buy a large tub if need be.

    My current requirements is to remove and install a set of pedals.

    Well I have a toothpaste sized tube of Copperslip that's been used on car brake pads and various bits of several bikes for the past 30 years. Can't imagine ever having a requirement for a bloody great tub of the stuff.

    Most useful on pedal threads, threaded BB's and cleat bolts. All the stuff that's in the firing line for salty spray in the winter, but that one day you'll want to undo...
  • I use the Park Tools ASC-1 stuff religiously, it's ace.
  • I just picked up a tube of regular copper slip out of our stores, works a treat and probably much cheaper than bike shop versions.
