Anti sieze is best but a good grease will be fine as well.

Dear Richard,

To avoid galling the less fortunate, you must not start threads with titles boasting about the
unmatched profitabilty of your pedals. Such claims belong in annual reports to investors.

Otherwise, Peter's advice sounds good.

Happy New Year!

Greetings!

Before I mount my new Ti-spindled Profit pedals, I'm concerned about galling...

The instructions state use "grease". Considering it is Ti against Al, is Finish Line (a
synthetic/teflon grease) all right? Would finding and applying a cheap lithium grease be more
likely to prevent galling? How about the special "Ti Prep" products?

Finally, how often should the pedals be removed for re-application of the prep? Leave them alone
between bearing services? Every couple months?

Any anti-seize. Standard buy-it-from-any-auto-store Copaslip works just as well as Ti Prep (which
IIRC is silver in colour).

The pedals can stay there between bearing service/changes.

The packaging says "Pro Fit" if that's any help.

Anti sieze paste is a very good idea around titanium where it meets another metal. If you're not in
high humudity, annually should be fine. If in a moist envinronment go with Peter's 'every few
months'. Corroded pedals pull the threads out on removal, an ugly thing.

Sad but true. "Record Profit" is a much more interesting name than "Record Pro-Fit PLUS". <
