enough to penetrate tight places, they

should be durable so they can withstand

exposure to the elements, and they must

resist the accumulation of dirt.

Suitable oils include Alsop, Bullshot,

Campagnolo, Finish Line, Lube Wax, Phil

Wood Tenacous Oil, Pedros, Superlube,

and Triflow.

Motor oil, WD40, 3-in-1 Oil, sewing machine

oil, gun oil, and other common oils are not

suitable and should not be used.

In general, applying oil from a drip appli-

cator is superior to using aerosols. Aerosols

promote over-lubrication, which leads to

excessive accumulation of dirt. Apply oil

sparingly. Apply enough oil to do the job,

but not so much that it starts to drip from

the component. After applying any oil,

wipe off the excess.

THREADLOCK

A threadlocking compound should be

used on most fasteners on the A2B Metro.

Threadlocking compound prevents loos-

ening caused by vibration and helps seal

out moisture.

Loctite 242 (blue) or its equivalent is rec-

ommended for threadlocking applica-

tions. Loctite 242 is a medium-strength

threadlocking compound that permits dis-

assembly with common hand tools.

Before applying Loctite to threads, clean

oil, grease, and other residue from the

thread surfaces. Apply a small amount of

Loctite. Excess compound could work its

way down the threads and bond parts

together. Table 5 (this chapter) provides

torque specifications and Loctite recom-

mendations for particular fasteners.
