Tomm Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Are there any substitutes for Loc Tite that I will find around the house? I'm thinking maybe Blu-Tack, chewing gum, honey or something :P Save me buying some, 'cos I need to tighten my disc rotor (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 You big cheapskate. Just buy some halfords lock tite stuff for about a quid. Blu-Tack works on the rotor bolts i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydon_peter Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Nail polish/varnish (Y) Im guessing you have female housemates so you shouldnt have too many problems stealing some? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamHolmes Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Ive got some of that white tape used for plumbing wraped around my pedal cus it kept coming loose on the crank .....seems to work (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 ptfe tape or just buy some loc tite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I don't think tape will work for rotor bolts, they'll be too small I'm sure... And I don't think I have any superglue. I do have toothpaste, but I'm very skeptical about that (Y) Nail varnish sounds good. I'm sure I can steal some from somewhere. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers guys :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Try some Tip-ex Its funny when you play a tric on your friends at school and put loads in the lock on their locks on their bikes, and it sets hard and they cant get the key in (Y) But I always cut the lock off for them with a grinder :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Does anyone know the best glue to use to permanently attach polyurethane (rimjam red) to maggie backings please? ← U could use some all purpose adhesive? then use a staple gun to fix the pad to the backing?

Spikenipple Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 U could use some all purpose adhesive? then use a staple gun to fix the pad to the backing? ← I'd rather just use glue, with the material cut into the groove in the pad.

Bionic Balls Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 superglue for loctite :P ...ptfe tape also works really well- on all bolts ^_^ araldite is good for sticking most things (this is the pad thing)...how about tensol cement? i don't know if the rubber would like it or not...
