From: Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada - burrrrr!

Bikes: 1958 Rabeneick 120D, 1968 Legnano Gran Premio, 196? Torpado Professional, 2000 Marinoni Piuma

they get installed with Loctite
As a millwright at a seminar from Loctite, we learned that Loctite 242 increases break free torque by 5 foot pounds, which is not very much.

Just though you might find that interesting, however...

If very fine threaded aluminium threads, such as those on a Triumph Bonneville timing case, the 242 will actually rip the threads out, believe it or not.
