Going to finally get around to fitting the screw together push fit converter bottom bracket.
https://wheelsmfg.com/bottom-brackets/bb86-92/bb86-92-outboard-angular-contact-bb-for-24mm-shimano-cranks-black.html
Downloaded the instructions and it says to grease the bb cups but doesn't mention the threads on the cups that screw together at all.
They're a fine thread but surely they should have a little grease on the threads or not?

Cheers

I've installed a few and always grease the threads too.

Most recent one was on my wife's Pro Caliber.

Thats the sort of fitment where I would use Copper grease.
And if you mix a bit of engine oil in it, then that makes it easier to put on with a small paintbrush.

On the pf30 instructions it states

Apply a thin layer of high quality grease to all threads on both cups.
