Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Loctite all screws?

Maybe this is a common thing for bikes, but is it wise to use Loctite (not the permanent one) on all the screws for my bike?

Perhaps on the suspension pivot bolts of a full suspension mountain bike, but I can't see doing it on a road bike.

Grease or anti-seize on all screws is a good idea. Doesn't have to be Loctite.

I wouldn't necessarily say "all" screws. The Campagnolo manuals specifically say to not lubricate the crankset bolts at all.

You sure they say no grease on the bolts? No grease on the tapers make sense, but not greasing the bolts does not.
