A corollary to this is to use an anti-sieze compound such as Perma-Tex Anti Sieze on anything that gets installed that will not likely be taken apart again for ages. This includes especially the BB, stem (both bolt & wedge nut and stem inserted), RD hanger bolt, seat post & seat post bolt, cranks, crank bolts, chain ring bolts, pedal spindles, cassette ring. Basically, anything than get wet. Stems & seat posts have a long history of getting sweated on, over-tightened & becoming difficult to remove.
Especially for smaller stuff that will be taken apart, racks, fenders, brake & shifter stuff, Blue Perma-Tex is your friend. These little fasteners are easy to over-torque. A little blue stuff, snug it up nicely and things won't rattle loose but can still be easily gotten apart. If you choose to use grease, and millions due, to good effect, be sure to use something intended for wet use such as marine grease. Boat trailer wheel bearing grease is a good choice. dougP On Wednesday, March 15, 2017 at 4:55:20 PM UTC-7, JohnS wrote: > > Be sure to grease the threads on all the bolts, seat post, stem and so > on... > > Good luck, > JohnS > > > On Wednesday, March 15, 2017 at 2:42:03 PM UTC-4, Max Bergen wrote: >> >> My Hunq is being delivered in a few days and I plan on building the bike >> myself.
