Mickle's tip of the day - Bolts

[Night Train]

I sometimes read that some of you use a torque wrench to tighten your fasteners. If you grease them then the torque will need to be much reduced as the setting is meant for dry threads.

 

[RecordAceFromNew]

And, since you've got the grease out, now would also be a great time to grease your seatpost.

Not if you have carbon seatpost. Use a carbon assembly paste instead.

You forgot the less obvious place, Wilkinsons.They sell Comma Multi purpose lithium grease at £3 or so for 500g. Its not in every store so probably best to deliver it free to your local.

See.. See.. this is the type of aggressive attitude on this forum that can upset sensitive types. So cut the f*cking profanities you f*cking f*ck

F*ck you, you F*ucking loud-mouthed f*cker

With Vaseline, nuts, seatpost and a whole lot of f8cking, me thinks this thread belongs to another website.

I think Vaseline is now available with added aloe vera. Just the job to keep your nuts nice and smooth.

Perhaps if he greases his thread, he'll have less trouble with it

Point of order. I have not seen another f*cking tip of the day since this one so should it not be tip of the week or are you just f*cking slacking ?
