    With the exception of DU bushes [which are self-lubricating] – any metal to metal mating should be either lubed or thread-locked

    I use a bit of copper slip when I’m installing headset cups. Think I got the Finishline stuff which comes with a brush…the amount I use it, the whole pot should last me years
