> 3 dayHave you ever seen a weight weenie who likes 21 pound full suspension mountain bikes or 11 pound road bikes, install titanium bolts into an aluminum or carbon fiber frame to save 30 grams on the overall weight of the bike? Or even worse, install a titanium bolt into a titanium frame ? (not recommended even with anti-seize compound) I have, and unfortunately I have also seen the damage done when someone tries to forcefully extract the same seized titanium nut or bolt a year later, which then has to be drilled out or in some cases can even ruin the frame. That is where anti-seize compound comes in. And Park Tools formulation is just as good if not better than any generic compound you buy at an auto store. I have no idea what the exact elements are in this Park Tools lube but I would not be surprised if it was partially Moly-50 with some zinc added for best protection with aluminum and titanium. (which also would work equally well with carbon fiber). At any rate, this lube works well. Very nice to have for bottom brackets on my titanium hardtail and for bolt hardware. I have been using this lube for multiple rebuilds over the last 15 years roughly and this has saved my butt from galled, corroded and seized components on more than one occasion. In my book, that makes it five stars!

> 3 dayThis stuff holds up much better than grease for any metal to metal contact where movement is not desired. Its closer to threadlock than grease, which is good. It prevents water infiltration, reduces creaking, and prevents things from getting stuck. I used to always use grease for everything, but I switched to using this stuff for pretty much everything except bearings and Im really happy with the results.

> 3 dayThis is the best thing to prevent pedals from seizing and bottom brackets as well.
