niconj Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's the second time that happens to me. Hope Pro 4 SSP hub and Magura Storm/Shimano SM-RT76 180mm rotors. I took new bolts for both rotors and Loctite 241. Tightened them up with 6Nm and they still came loose. Only on the rear though. Any suggestions?

BJ. Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 241 is only a medium strength loctight. Try some 242. I've even used loctight superglue in the past with success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I cleaned everything, used new bolts with Loctite and still got the problem. Is it normal that there is almost no resistance when I screw in the bolts until the point where they become tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Try a little more torque, 8Nm should be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that I don't destroy my Hope. I've just mounted the bolts at 8Nm. The wheel is now sitting on my radiator to have the best result as possible.

JamieC Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Shimano make little figure of eight shaped things with lips on that stop disc bolts coming loose. Each one does two bolts, so three per wheel. You could try those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bolted them up to 8Nm now. The Hope Adapter seems to be a better solution than the washers between the frame and the adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Go for 22 Nm they don't come out. If if they still loosen, buy a cheap used welder and go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet is always right. I bought six M5x13 titanium bolts, the above mentioned Hope spacer and Loctite 2701. This will work I'm sure.

AdamR28 Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Use steel bolts if you have issues with them coming loose. Make sure you use grease as well as that threadlock, or the bolts won't be coming out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) is this not a case of you overthinking things horribly? i always use a standard (small) allen key, some grease and get the screws as tight as i can using my fingers. worked every time, never had to think about it for a second. (i do check after the first few rides, though) (in-before-smarypants-edit: it's a torx key, but same size as a small allen) Edited February 9, 2017 by jeff costello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had such a problem before and having used two different sets of new Shimano steel bolts I come to wonder where the problem really lies. It's not that all bolts come loose but I think it's only the same two (holes). Could it be that my Hope hub as some issues? With my Bonz Disc hub I have never had these kind of problems. edit: I just saw that I mixed up two topics. The hope adaptor I mentioned before is for my Saint caliper, that is too far out.

If its the same two coming loose there's a possibility of faulty threads in the hub. Worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
