Hey guys, I believe my issue was the Park anti seize that I originally used. I live in Texas, my bike shop is in my garage which in the summer gets very hot.

I've had the Park a/s for several years and the heat had really thinned it out to a near water consistency. The Finish Line product was a paste type of consistency, even when new the Park stuff was never as thick and it was gray in color vs copper.

If you need to have a Ti BB with IT threads cleaned up it can be challenging to find a shop with that capability. My understanding is that standard BB tools won't work or will get damaged on Ti?

Mr. Cal, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the C60 BB you are working on now. The C60 prices from the UK have gotten very tempting..
