Grease vs. Anti-seize
I installed a Praxis PF30 BB onto a frame a few weeks ago and the instructions were very particular about where to use grease vs. where to use anti-seize. I followed the instructions and all is good, at least until that BB needs to be removed in some undetermined future (or never).
But when should one generally use anti-seize instead of grease? Can anti-seize be applied to all threads or only when specified? I would think for bearings it should always be grease. On the BB, the press-fit shell was to be greased but the cups were thread together types and the threads used anti-seize.
I only ask because now I have a tube of anti-seize and my old tube of Phil grease is dwindling. Both may still be enough to last me a lifetime. I bought that tube of Phil grease in 1980 or so when I took my first bike mechanics class at the local coop and learned how to service hubs which were all loose bearing back then.
