I've took the thread lock off it when I took it off to check something. I don't have any tl paste so was
thinking of using some silicon sealant on the thread instead or I've some plumbing ptf tape

I would just screw it back in with the remnants of the threadlocker. Not other stuff: no useful function. They don't come undone.

Dont.
Bit of grease or nothing. You want to get it off at some point. As per above, they don't work loose.

Okay thanks guys. Haven't had much spare time to finish (ty,vicks!) project off yet just have the chain on the big
ring atm, fd will take some sorting and It might need a new cable asp. And am quite happy that the chain is long enough, rd jockey wheel roughly at 5 o'clock so that's a win to me! Tho the tiny 30t IR might prove to be a pita!
Although I've not had much time to fully experience and test her out yet, just a few quick 1ml trips to the gym
and back. I'm surprised how just 4 extra teeth can make so much difference to the gearing, bike feels and rides
so much different, very smooth and positive with new bb too. Don't think I'll be anywhere close to spinning out
on this set up, hell, might not even see the 12t in action ever again lol

Only the H screw on the fd seems to be doing anything, raising - lowering, turning the L screws isn't doing muchmean moving the cage laterally. Didn't have enough light to try to sort it today. Maybe somethings broke but am sure It worked when it was a triple. It does change the rings up and down but needs tuning.
