I just got a PW BB for my touring bicycle. I have red blue and green Locktite. Which should I use when installing the SS (I think) BB into the steel frame of my touring bicycle. If anyone suggests green , then how do I eventually remove the BB?
I am not sure how the PW adhesive compares to the Locktite.

I think if the retainer cups screw in loosely, then you should use the green lock-tite. If they screw in tightly then don't use anything. Mine went in nice and tight bit I made sure to grease the BB threads first. Another thing, when I purchased my PW BB it came with a small tube of green lock-tite (just in case I guess). Green lock-tite is not permanent. It comes undone with a little muscle. Red lock-tite is used if you never want to budge it again. Don't use the red one.
