alloy wheel galling
I am not looking forward to the day when an alloy lugnut locks on to the threaded hub, I have two sets of wheels from Trigo etc, and there is not a lot of room on the rear wheels to get a straight hit on the lug-nut!
I see the Aussie Supercar guys cutting nuts off their cars in the heat of racing at times!
Aluminium on aluminium galling NO....not unless your threaded hubs are alloy, as there is no way the spinner will lock onto the taper in the wheel, what happens is some alloy comes off and locks in both components "Threads" and can pick up more material as it goes round.
I used to use Coppercote anti-seize compound which was just a basic engineering supply product, but see that Loctite company make an anti-seize compound does anyone use that?
