Threadlocker on brake calipers bolts?

Post by Acke »

Hello,

I removed my front brake calipers due to servicing the forks.
When unscrewing the caliper bolts i noticed a white residue/dust on the bolts. Same with the pad pin, was a noticeable click when I managed to unscrew it.
Is this threadlocker? Should i get the blue stuff or is properly torqueing with a tool enough?

New brake pads, which ones would you pick?

Not since I killed Ole Red... I didn't have SBS pads then... All the others had nothing to do with stopping in time... :lol: :lol:
