low stack headset cap and titanium bolts use
Moderator: Moderator Team
2 questions here
1- Where can I find a very low stack headset cap such as the slam that stem ones? The slam that stem are not available anymore on their website.
2- When using Ti bolts in aluminium or steel socket, should I need anti seize paste? Will simple blue loctite do the trick in areas that are most stressed (brake calipers)?
thanks guys

Ti-Prep is fine on things like lever clamp bolts that don't need to maintain a high torque but on higher torque stuff like caliper bolts, rotor bolts, etc then threadlock is much better. Same anti-corrosion benefits but less chance of a bolt working loose. I'd be inclined to say think of Ti-prep like a grease so if you wouldn't grease a bolt don't Ti-Prep it

Indeed I do. After 20 years as a mechanic and amateur racer, I try offer advice when I think it might be helpful.
I have a new in package slam that stem cap if you are having a hard time getting one.
