cool. no better way to learn about your bike. you want to grease just about everything - all threaded bolts and anywhere metal contacts metal. some subscribe to different schools of thought regarding things like greasing bb spindles, but when in doubt (and when common sense tells you otherwise - e.g. don't grease your stem clamp and handlebars), grease it and don't be shy about it. beeswax is optional, but may be used anywhere that you might want a little extra stick-um on bolts/parts that are prone to loosening-up/ backing-out a bit over time. personally, i've never used it, but i've never had anything so incorrigible that it needed to be tamed by beeswax. it's a nice, natural alternative to loc-tite and more aggressive thread lockers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
