As the title says really. I'm soon going to be starting a new build, whilst I have done this before this time I want to get things right.
What should I grease, lube (oo-err) or threadlock, and any suggestions for products?
Coppaslip 1)
all frame bolts for bottle cages e.t.c and caliper mounting
2) BB threads. Grease the seatpost regularly.
3) seat bolts.
4) Coppaslip on headset cups to allow for easy removal.
5) on pedal threads.
You do not need to grease BB axle splines if you have any. Grease/antisieze seatpost.
Coppaslip is your friend!
If the fitting instructions for a component say use threadlock then use some, but otherwise don't.
Anti-sieze is to be used where two metal surface e.g steel-alu alloy are static and you want to keep them seperate. Grease is used on metal surfaces moving past each other.
