Hi all.

Do you think Shimano's Premium Grease would work as a general assembly grease, or is it just meant for bearings? I used it on the thread of my MT800 bottom bracket during installation, as it appeared to be caked in the greeny-yellow stuff, and I didn't want to cross-contaminate.

Thank you

It's fine but it is an expensive choice. The BB threads are not a moving part, its just there to make sure you can undo the BB later. I just use automotive anti-seize on mine.
