cheap thick auto grease on everything. Occasionally copper anti-seize on threads if I'm feeling flush.

Copperslip (anti-sieze) for titanium.
Nothing for carbon seatposts.
Lithium grease for everything else.

Have also used butter on pedals before when nothing else was to hand.

I use anti seize on all stationary parts, thick lube on all moving parts, and biodegradable liquid lube (which seems to be a bit poo, hope mum nature appreciates it) on my chain.

'Nothing for carbon seatposts.'
oh really? no carbon grease then?
quality grease in all areas but shimano antiseize on bb and titanium parts.
Carbon grease on all carbon parts.

Use everything to do what it's manufactured to do. Anti-seize cream keeps components from seizing. Chain lube lubes chains. Lithium grease lubes bearings. Duh.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
