jandamna Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi guysBasically, I bought some second hand tensile ISIS cranks, they are the 05 Tensiles I think, and then I also bought a brand new Atomz ISIS BB.So I fitted them, and it was all fine for a couple of days, but then the crank bolt keeps coming loose, and I really dont know how to stop this, anyone got any bodge jobs to stop them coming loose? ThanksJan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Just whack some threadlock on the bolts and do the cranks up good and tight. Should do the job.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3danny Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 You should take it to a bike shop and get them to put lock tight on the bolts that way they won't come lose for quite a while and when they do just get more put on the bolts.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) You should take it to a bike shop and get them to put lock tight on the bolts that way they won't come lose for quite a while and when they do just get more put on the bolts. Local bike shops are rip off merchants...They'd probably charge you a fiver to do it. As you say, just buy some loctite and do it yourself and you're sorted. Maybe you could then charge your mates £5 each to do theirs Edited September 30, 2007 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsstar15 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) if you dont have any thread lock handy(like i did lol) use a bit of tar on the threads then tighten them to fckworks for a couple of days Edited September 30, 2007 by trialsstar15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 if you dont have any thread lock handy(like i did lol) use a bit of tar on the threads then tighten them to fckworks for a couple of daysOr you could urm.... NOT.... Tar will do not good... its f**king sticky and will just be messy, i doubt it would do any harm to the threads but pleaaaaase dont do it! a light locktite is not expensive and can be used on a few bits on your bike... like rotor bolts and stuff......
