I recently got some TRP Spyre disc brakes. Each brake came with 4 bolts of the same length, but very slightly different head. 2 have blue loctite on them, and 2 have red-ish looking loctite on them. 2 will be used to attach the 160mm adapter to the frame and 2 will be used to attach the caliper to adapter. Where should I use which bolts?

Probably not a huge deal, but I want to do it right. Thanks.

3 mouse clicks and you'll see the red locktited bolts being used to secure the caliper to thr post or adapter. Andy.

Copied the brake brand/model. Pasted onto address bar to search for. Clicked on TRP install link. Watched half of 3 minute video. Andy.

The 2 bolts with red Loctite for the adopter and the 2 blue ones for the calipers in case you need to change or move them later in life .

Instinct tells me to do this. The video suggests to do the opposite. Of course, the video doesn't even show or mention any blue loctited bolts.

I'm going to follow my instinct. I'll let you know if anything horrific happens.

Yes! A thinking response.

My slightly condescending first reply was to show how easy it was to search for the TRP answer. But as long as one keeps the bolts tight, does adequate maintenance, no locktite will be needed. In fact i use lube on most all my hardware, not locktite. Andy.

The red Loctite may require heat to remove once set , on the other hand the blue Loctite can be broken with just hand tools , this is why I suggested what I did in my other post .
