Grease, Teflon Tape or Loctite for Bottom Bracket Cups?
After a long search of the forums I have found a lot of conflicting information as to what to apply on the cup threads when installing a cartridge bottom bracket.
It's a 3 piece Miche Primato Pista 110mm/ISO BB in case the make and model matter to anyone, with BOTH cups being adjustable.
I've looked at several manufacture's websites as well. Some suggest grease (I already have a tube of Phil Grease) Others suggest Teflon plumbers tape and while others suggest using Loctite 242 Blue.
As it is an ISO BB, everyone suggest not putting grease on the taper or the inside of the crank for ISO so it doesn't go on "to far" and deform the taper. That makes sense to me. Go dry at the connection point for ISO square taper. I guess that differs from ISIS where you would use grease...
Anyway, as for the cups on the BB I am open to suggestion.... What do most mechanics do? Thanks!
