Pannier Rack Bolts: Threadlock vs Copaslip

[Ming the Merciless]

First, catch your badger

Add two teaspoons worth of frogspawn

 

[MontyVeda]

Just get the rack welded on then you won't have to worry.

 

[Yellow Saddle]

Bog-standard grease here. I once had to tediously drill out and re-tap the hole for a mudguard bolt which snapped, but I think I forgot to grease that one.

Standard lithium, soda, clay orcalcium grease? With or without sulphur? Maybe a dash of molybdenum?

 

[rogerzilla]

Marmot salve if I can get it.

 

[mickle]

Vaseline.

If you REALLY don't want them coming lose, if there's space, so probably not next to the smallest sprocket, use a longer bolt and put a nylock nut on the back of it.

I don't use Copaslip if I can possibly help it - it's really nasty gear. Highly toxic.

Thank god my tube of the stuff didn't come with a Safety Data Sheet. It is best to shop around.

 

[rogerzilla]

I'd be worried if I were an aquatic creature, or were planning to spread it on toast.

 

[Smokin Joe]

You're not supposed to spread it on toast?

OMG

 

[rogerzilla]

It looks so good, though. Buttery and sparkly.

 

[Yellow Saddle]

Slightly unctuous, with a lingering metallic finish.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

You're not supposed to spread it on toast?

OMG

You are not meant to coat pannier bolts in marmalade?
