Subject: Building a ti bike -- special issues?
|
I'm about to put together a ti bike and am wondering what special attention
I need to pay to lubricating posts, threads, etc. I have heard about the
chemical "welding" problems with ti and want to avoid them. Do I just lub
everything with ti prep of some sort before assembly? What is the best ti
prep to use?
What about things like carbon seatposts in ti frames? Any special
attention?
Thanks.

Antisieze all things with threads plus the seattube for that carbon
post. I use Permatex but like grease, antisieze is antisieze. I also
antisieze or grease in the headtube if installing a conventional
headset.

Yep, this is all you need to do, and if anyone else tells you to do some
other voodoo, just move on.
