Park Tool ASC-1 Anti-Seize Compound

You apply this on joints and threads that are not meant to move against each other, so that you can take them apart in the future. If youre like me, and was clueless about whats the difference between anti seize compound and polylube, watch the video by Park Tools showing the difference. If youre packing ball bearings, use polylube, not anti seize compound. However, you can use polylube to grease threads. So why get anti seize? They are supposed to last longer, and also prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar materials. May not matter much with bicycles, especially for parts that get removed and grease reapplied regularly. But I had a tough time removing my old pedals, and decided to get this as it doesnt cost much and I expect to need it somewhat frequently.

Best for the job intended.

This rating is for Green Canyon Outfitters as much for the Park Tool anti-seize compound. In the process of shipping there was a snafu, but Green Canyon was super helpful and prompt in addressing the situation and made sure everything was right. They were a pleasure to deal with!

Good stuff - an absolute must have for any serious do-it-yourself bike owner. But dont let the oversized tube fool you. As the description says, its 4 oz of product... but it comes in a 12 oz sized tube. A tube will still last years, but getting all the product out of it might be problematic. Great product - dumb packaging. That being said, its a great product that should be in every bike owners tool box.

This stuff works great. Its particles increase friction, and your torque levels significantly decrease because of it so you dont over-tighten your bolts. I probably use this more than my standard green grease, but it this has its specific uses and blue is my favorite color so I’m biased. If you have high quality aluminum, titanium, or carbon components, this compound is fantastic. Highly recommend having this in your tool box, junk drawer, bicycle fanny pack (you do you). This is for sure an essential item now that I have bought it and determined it as such.

Thumbs up

Just what I expected. I like it and it works for me.

Works great.

I had to install a freewheel and thought it would be a good idea to use this anti-seize compound lube in order to keep things from getting nasty when it would eventually need to be removed for service or whatever. I use it on pedals and anything else that Ive had a problem with in the past.

Good quality product.
