Right, daft I know, but should I be using anti-seize or loctite on my cleat screws?
I went SPD a few weeks ago and thinking that I'd need to change the cleats eventually I put copper slip on the cleat screws. Tested them out etc and then torqued them up properly.
I've managed to avoid any comedy slow motion falls so far but very nearly did today as I was crossing a few roads heading back to Canterbury from Clowes wood as my pedal had decided to eat the cleat and not let me have my foot back. Once I managed to get my foot out I checked the cleats and both were pretty much free to rotate on the shoe, should I be loctiting the screws in or will that end up knackering the sole plate when I come to change cleats?
