The bottom bracket should probably be anti-seize compound but any lithium grease or whatever will do. Slap it on! http://www.dalesbikedoctor.co.uk/Grease/cat892649_912806.aspx
Shimano anti seize paste for BB thread, bearing contact points are pre greased with dura ace special grease
Any. I have used automotive anti-sieze like copaslip, fancy smancy grease by Finishline and cheapo grease from Weldite.
All does the job. I stick loads in, seriously loads.. I've definately plugged the odd draianage hole in my over-zealous greasing.. and I roque the cups to the advised 35 N/m using a cantilever style torque wrench.. there's no way anyone using an all in one BB wrench is putting 35 N/m into the cup, especially if its one of those shit half designs that slips and eats the rebates..
So do i need to grease the actual chainset, if taking it off one bike and putting it on another?
where on the chainset?
Not on the chain set as such but I would put some on the HT2 shaft where it goes through the BB. I also put some on the ends of the sleeve to help get the water out.
Soz.. I assumed you were talking about fitting a BB as well..
So no, you don't need silly amounts oif grease, but you do need the shaft smeared... it can be a bugger to get out.. to get it out to change BB bearings, you will find a rubber faced or wooden mallet useful.
