In which case anti-seize would be better
Don't put powdered copper or any other colloidal lubricant in your Hirth joint

Mine was installed dry and has recently developed a "tick" on each half rotation when I'm out the saddle. Not had time to investigate yet. Assumed it might just need tightening. I think I just greased the threads.
Tester, could you offer so more info on the anti-copaslip stance? Always nice to learn something!

It's not the Hirth joint. I'd imagine, although happy to be corrected, that the only reason you'd have for greasing it is to prevent the two halves chemically bonding together? In which case anti-seize would be better.
