rudirudirudirudirudi Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 right folks. last week my the lockring came undone and parts went everywhere. bought new parts for it. took to bike shop to put back together ( as i can never get the b*****d outer ring back on ) i rode for a couple of hours today and it came loose again. i took it back, they did it up, i rode again. seems ok at the mo. they tightened it as much as they could and i dont want to put any threadlock on it because i dont want the bearings to f**k. lol. anyone had this problem?????? solutions???

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The lockrings are threadlocked in place in the factory so if you strip and re assemble you SHOULD use loctite or similar threadlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
