Muel Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's more for bolts, not bearings. Besides, it's shockingly shit IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i ask what happend to your bearings They got ground and mashed up pretty bad. The copper grease we have at home has little tiny grit particles in it, that deffo f**ked it up! Besides, it's shockingly shit IMO. How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 How? It's less lubricatatory than proper grease, it's smelly, it's harder to wash off your hands, it wears out your bearings faster (a hunch of mine) because of the copper filings in it, it looks rank, and doesn't easily wipe off whatever you've put it on.

dann2707 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 You're using it in the wrong way... undeniably. I'll give you a hint, it's in the name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 On things like stem bolts? Nah, I'll stick to grease I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Borneo Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 On things like stem bolts? Nah, I'll stick to grease I think. Yeah, I have a tiny sachet of copper grease that I've had for about ten years. That's how often I feel the need to use it instead of moly grease.
