Stick vaseline on the threads so when you come to adjust in the future you can clean off and the threads will be tidy

Cheers for that. Was going to use a little copper grease on all the adjustable parts, new top bearings & rubbers. The P Slots should look sweet tucked up in the arch. They go 20mm - 120mm lower

I actually copper grease the tread and wrap it to death with leccy tape, sticking the tape to its self..
Once you've spent three hrs trying to loosen seized adjuster rings you'll never want to do it again!

Copper grease would work too - wrapping too although heard mixed results with that so thought best not to mention!
Doing both I guess means that the road dirt and grit wont stick to the grease/vaseline in the first place!
