Sorry, it is for Ultra Torque PF30 cups into a Ridley Noah frame. Ridley doesn't specify anything in their build passport. Natural tendency is to use grease like I always did with a headset, but I have read the Loctite bit and also read to do it dry. I cant even find 600 series Loctite anywhere around me. Where are you guys finding it?

This thread illustrates the ongoing confusion about BB30 and PF30.
Spooky has PF30. It has a 46mm adapter. PF30 shells are designed to use a delrin insert, and may not have to meet the same tolerances as a BB30 shell.
There are several (numerous) complaints of Campy's PF30 adapters failing to stay in place.
Spooky, don't grease it whatever you do. Find the strongest loctite, prep the surfaces, and let it set up after installation. And then hope for the best.
If this doesn't work, the next step is a full SRAM insert which converts the BB to a normal threaded one, and you use the threaded Campy cups. good luck.

There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?
One.
So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.
