Anti-Seize for wheel bolts question
I have 15mm spacers for my rear wheels. The nuts are made from a light weight alloy (I think titanium, but I could be wrong). Is there a special anti-seize I should be using?

They're probably the same type of aluminum alloy nuts that Porsche used everywhere before they started using bolts instead of studs. I use any good aluminum- or copper-based paste with those. Clean the threads on both the studs and nuts periodically and reapply the paste.

If they really are Ti, they you should try to find a prep for that specific metal. Look up Ti Prep. Ask anyone who builds bicycles... Ti and Al don't get along well and can weld themselves together (I think it's called galvanic corrosion, but I ain't one for booklearnin').
