Brake grease

<< < (2/2)

Oddjob:
I’m aware of that but unlike red grease it really doesn’t have much in the way of lubricating factors, in this case red grease is a better answer. Now the bolt holding the brake arm onto the pivot pin is perfect for copperslip.

smoothoperator:
Thanks guys, clearly a few opinions on this. As I have some copaslip, I'll probably use that. There are lots of different types of red grease, I have seen some advertised as "sticky". I also have some in the garage that IIRC I bought to lube some new fork seals in my mountain bike, it isn't really any thicker than the "standard" grease I have in my grease gun. The thickest grease I have is Lithium grease, used for the wheel bearings in the mountain bike.

Bryanj:
To be honest in that situation it is not a high load area so anything that sticks, stays and stops corrosion is good
