BB86 into a carbon BB shell, does it go in dry and do I need to apply some loctite, and if so, which one to get?
If the tolerances are tight and you're using a BB with plastic cups you might get away with installing it dry. I use Loctite 609 on my press fit BBs unless they have a thread to hold the two sections together.
