I'd agreehamster":em25h3a9 said:Titanium is a horrible material for fasteners. It tends to gall and stick.
Made the mistake of dry fitting into Ti.
They came out with a grinding noise, snapping their way out a little bit on every movement, due to the tremendous torque that was needed. I had concerns they were going to break.
Michelin Titanium anti-seize paste. as a Ti rider, you live with it. Stainless stays shiny but grease them like a pig destined for the greasy pig contest.
You might have a prob finding copper grease. try copa slip in google instead, but be aware copa slip isnt the best for nuts, bolts or screws as it can set up a corrosion, due it its own copper content(This is ultra pedantic geekiness, so dont worry ) Personally, i'd recommend anti seize paste, from 10 years experience of that particular brand.
