Joe_Elding Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Hi, Just recieved my welded acs freewheel and cranks in the post. I know about having to loctite normal freewheels onto the crankthreads. But I was wondering, 'because I have the welded version does it still mean I should? Or would it be rising it by not? Cheers.

Waynio Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 why would you have to thread lock a freewheel onto a pair of cranks????? you have to thread lock the lock ring on the back of the freewheel BUT deffinatly not onto the crank. it doesnt need it. just thread lock the lock ring on the back where the 2 little holes are and tighten it back up as tight as possible then your away. we have done it with many at work and they dont tend to come loose as often. we had one guys freewheel riding alot last a year!!!!

loffa Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 If it's welded, then you don't need to locktite it. It can't get loose when it is welded shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 As said above, normaly the lockring is locktited, but as it's weleded you don't need to do this. You definatly don't need to put locktite on the crank threds, and on the main threds of a freewheel, and they tighten when you ride, and they do get tight. Just screw it on and go. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe :- ← Yes i agree don't loctite your threads on crank for freewheel otherwise you will make a hard enough job harder getting it off again the welded acs shouldn't loosen at all if it did the welds would crack first so look out for that Edited July 22, 2005 by trialsni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
