Coppaslip or Loctite...?
 
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...ps64ktsjyv.jpg Changing my rear sprocket for a nice Renthal one and some snazzy stainless sprocket nuts. After cleaning up the studs should I just grease them or should I use Loctite. ..? Steve

Red Loctite is regarded as permanent, so use either blue 243, 246 or 2422. Blue 243 is oil tolerant and does not require the same attention to detail cleaning and degreasing the threads.

Thanks Pete.....I hadn't piced up on the fact the stainless were non locking....but hopefully shouldn't have to change that sprocket too often. Steve
