Park Tool ASC-1 Anti-Seize Compound

This stuff holds up much better than grease for any metal to metal contact where movement is not desired. Its closer to threadlock than grease, which is good. It prevents water infiltration, reduces creaking, and prevents things from getting stuck. I used to always use grease for everything, but I switched to using this stuff for pretty much everything except bearings and Im really happy with the results.

The actual grease is pretty good but there are some problems I’ve had. First, this may sound like a first world problem, but you have to cut the end off which can be a pain. I ended up drilling out the end because I was having so many problems. Then, the second thing, was that the actual tube is not filled up all the way. There is a good amount of air inside the tube just like a bag of chips. You are expecting more then what your actually getting. Overall 3 stars for the problems but the actual paste is pretty good. Works great for what it’s meant for.

Good product. Works as expected. Would buy again.

nice

Just buy it, you know you need it. Be blessed Parker

I usually just use some general purpose grease (cheap and does the job) for the occasional bike maintenance but thought Id splurge since I was building from the frame up. Glad I did! Works great, dispenses conveniently, and doesnt have the nasty stink of general purpose grease.

Dont you wish everybody used this stuff?

Arrived without any complications and on time

More then I could use in my life. Worked as stated.

You apply this on joints and threads that are not meant to move against each other, so that you can take them apart in the future. If youre like me, and was clueless about whats the difference between anti seize compound and polylube, watch the video by Park Tools showing the difference. If youre packing ball bearings, use polylube, not anti seize compound. However, you can use polylube to grease threads. So why get anti seize? They are supposed to last longer, and also prevent galvanic corrosion between dissimilar materials. May not matter much with bicycles, especially for parts that get removed and grease reapplied regularly. But I had a tough time removing my old pedals, and decided to get this as it doesnt cost much and I expect to need it somewhat frequently.
