Park Tool RC-1 is used to prepare non-threaded parts such as bottom bracket cups, sealed bearings, and other press fit components. RC-1 expands and hardens as it cures, filling gaps and ensuring secure installation.

Features

Competes with Loctite® 680™

Not recommended for threaded applications

Note: When retaining compound or threadlocker is used on carbon fiber frames or components, adhesive primer such as Park Tool AP-1 must first be applied to all component, fastener and frame surfaces. Failure to do so could result in permanently bonded parts.

Caution: Some painted surfaces can be sensitive to threadlockers, retaining compounds and primers. Test first on an inconspicuous area to see if it causes a stain or discoloration. Clean off any excess from painted surfaces immediately.

Henry ★★★★★

Had a stubborn bottom bracket cup that kept spinning no matter how much torque I used. Applied this compound and let it sit for a day—now it's solid as a rock with zero play. The fact that it expands to fill gaps really does the trick.

Timothy ★★★★★

Hunting down creaks in my press-fit bottom bracket was driving me crazy until I used this compound. It dries to a firm grip that seals out moisture, and the application is straightforward with the included brush. My ride is completely silent now.
