Proper lubes?

What type of lube should I use for my Crank Brothers Candy SL's. I
prefer to buy from an auto shop instead of a bike shop as the price is
outrages. Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks.

You can stick it to those rich bike shop [censored] by getting one of those
big cheap jugs of 90 weight hypoid gear oil.

I should have said "Grease". I have a mini grease gun with a micro tip
that fits the Candy SL's grease adapter. So I need a little help with
picking the right grease.

It doens't really matter, any bearing grease is fine. Use it ofen and
you'll neve rhave to replace the bushing in those pedals.

Ok, I'll give that a try. Seems to make sense. I'll get the good stuff.
Thanks Chris.

Would a lythium based grease work Chris?

I have heard that Lithium grease soemtimes contains Hexane and would be
harmful to plastic. Just stick with regular Molybdenum ""moly" grease
to be safe. You'll find big tubs and tubes of it at every auto parts
store.

Ok, nice to know that. Thanks again Chris.
