Record Profit pedals

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?

Thanks!

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

If ya ride in a downpour or frequently in the wet, about every 3-4 months or
so-

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!

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".
