What does everybody coat the cup/insert with prior to pressing in the bearing?
I was just going to grease it & press that thing in there but I’m hearing a lot of different opinions! Seems like the Park Tool primer & retaining compound solution is popular but I’m not sure I’m ready to go that far…
This is what I use, solved any creaking I had. Worth the investment in my opinion for a job you don’t want to have to do very often. For maintaining my 2 bikes I haven’t used even half of my first bottle+pen from over a year ago.
Yeah…I guess my concern with loctite is future bearing removal might damage the frame. Haven’t taken the old bottom bracket out yet so I don’t know if there is an Al shell in there or not. It definitely creaks like crazy which doesn’t bother me but people complain about it all the time. I’m finally going to give my teamies a break and put a new hawk bottom bracket in there.
