Ti frames: Preventing components seizing
Luke wrote:
As a preventative against it seizing in a Ti frame, is it recommended
that a component - for instance, a Shimano Cartridge BB installed with
a judicious application of anti-seize grease - be removed, re-greased,
and installed again at set intervals? Or can the anti-seize lube be
considered effective for the life of the component - say, two or three
years?
Antisieze is really tenacious and doesn't wash away easily but if you
submerge your BB regularly, take it out once in a while. Also
antisieze inside the BB cup(s).
Do different components or their materials (i.e., steel headset cup,
aluminum seatpost) warrant different considerations vis preventing
their seizing in a Ti frame?
Thanks
