Stop Doing This! Top 5 Fastener Fails

Описание: In this informative video, Josh addresses key considerations when working on your bicycles to ensure optimal performance and care. The inspiration for this video comes from the feedback received on a new product announcement video featuring SILCA Anti-Seize Assembly Paste, which you can find here:    • Better than Grease? Anti-Seize Assembly Paste  

Top 5 Reasons for Fastener Fails:
1. Dry Torque and improper coating for your fasteners. Exception: SRAM UDH. Also, never mix grease with thread locker.
2. Step Torque Patterns - Understand the significance of using step torque in patterns when tightening fasteners, especially for components like stems (face plate & steerer tube bolts) and frame seat clamps.
3. Non-perpendicularity for screw heads
4. Hammer Effect - Be mindful of the hammer effect associated with click-type torque wrenches.
5. Allen Key Maintenance - Watch out for worn Allen key heads and avoid the incorrect application of ball ends.

BONUS:
SILCA Anti-Seize Assembly Paste (buy it here: https://silca.cc/collections/bike-mai...) is the inspiration from another video. This product prevents seizing and corrosion, especially for dissimilar metals. You likely didn't know you needed it.
