All,

I will be installing an FSA ISIS bb into my Litespeed Ti bike soon. I was wondering if there any
gotchas to this ? Outside of torque specs is there anything else ? I've already purchased the FSA
isis bb tool but in terms of greasing the bb for install - is there special type of grease
considering the frame is ti ?

Thanks,

IanD

Generous amounts of Finish Line Ti-prep on the threads will keep the alloys from reacting and
seizing. Nothing worse than a stuck BB.

Good Luck!

My FSA ti bb came with a tube of something that looks like copper Permatex.

Antisieze inside the BB shell...Grease inside the BB cups, tap the right one off....
