[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1221024, member: 8054"] I knew that some object to dielectric grease for this application which is why I mentioned other options, although the dielectric grease has worked on my bike without ever reapplying and I ride a LOT in rain. I did ensure that the sockets provided good pin tension because then they simply scrape the dielectric grease away from the points of contact. This is a never ending argument about what is best and there's opinions that dielectric is just fine for this application. [URL="https://www.w8ji.com/dielectric_grease_vs_conductive_grease.htm"]https://www.w8ji.com/dielectric_grease_vs_conductive_grease.htm[/URL] Some would argue that your preferred product is also not acceptable because it's stated use is: "Use the IDEAL NOALOX 4 oz. Anti-Oxidant Compound to improve the efficiency of [SIZE=18px][U][B]aluminum[/B][/U][/SIZE] conductor connections" and there's no aluminum conductors on the bike that I'm aware of. But I'm sure your product will work fine also because it also stops water and dirt from getting to the electrical contact and corroding it and increasing resistance. [/QUOTE]
