Blue stuff that holds bolts??

[Cubist]

Sounds good on your specs, but the OP was probably talking about a bicycle.

One has to ask the question: Did the manufacturer use threadlock compound when assembling the bicycle?

The answer will be 'no', so there is no place for the stuff in maintaining the bicycle.

I believe there are one or two assemblies - not on bikes - where the maker uses threadlock compound.

That tells you the assembly is poorly designed, but it would make sense to reassemble the same way.

Disc rotor bolts, hydraulic brake calliper mounting bolts? The replacements come with a dab of blue threadlock already applied.

Thanks all,

didn't expect so many replies ... by the way I want it for my glasses not the bikes.

Cheers

Don't agree with that. The screws on my glasses come undone if not loctited. Why is allowing your screws to undo a bodge ?

Same with mine. And the correct grade threadlock does no harm at all and isn't even visible after assembly so it is far from being a bodge, just a sensible precaution.

Because if one procured decent quality glasses in the first instance, one would have to stick them together with supa glue.

Neva mind the qualiti, feel da wipf

Mine are good quality I'll have you know. They were 99 new pence (including post from China) so it's not as if I'm buying rubbish. Joking aside, they really are pretty good.
