Older school method: grease every thread vs now I barely use it on pedals
I used to be the guy who put grease on every single thread. Bottom bracket, cassette lockring, pedal threads, you name it. Then last summer I had a client's pedal seize up so bad we had to cut the crank arm. Turns out the grease mixed with road grit and basically turned into cement after a few wet rides in Portland. Now I only use a tiny dab of anti-seize on pedal threads, and nothing on stuff that's supposed to torque to a spec. But my old shop mentor swears by grease everywhere. What's your take on this, does grease help or hurt over time?
