Hi, what is the most common for fitting the headset and bb cups into the frame ?

1. dry
2. grease
3. bearing lock (loctite)

Thanks in advance

Gish:
Use grease then if you ever need to remove them it's a nice easy process  :daumenhoch:

Stick your cups in the freezer for a couple of hours before hand.  :daumenhoch:

I have to say I've never found this to make the slightest difference?

Grease the frame, line up the cups, bit of wood over the top and whack with a lump hammer
