    1. regreasing a specialized command post?
    2. adding to threads when installing a bottom bracket / building up a frame?

    Would you suggest a grease gun?

    Copperslip for both, as long as the post isn’t carbon!

    sambuka – Member

    1. regreasing a specialized command post?

    Whatever they ask for, or something equivalent. You might be OK with standard grease, but then you might not- my posts recommend slick honey or judy butter, both wet and very low friction, I daresay a stickier grease might not work.

    If you are trying to put grease into a grease nipple – yes, you need a grease gun.

    If not – then no.

    If sambuka means on the command post seals/internals then no way copperslip.

    I use Slick Honey on my droppers and copperslip for BB threads

    Oh aye, the other question- grease gun like freeagent is really for forcing grease into a nipple. But it can still be a handy way of handling grease for other jobs, the little ones they sell for “bike specific” grease can be handy. I prefer to squish it in with a finger but it’s messy
