wardie Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 i went down to my local b&q to buy some loctite for my loose crankbolts but all i found was a wall full of products and i had no clue which one i needed, i asked an assistant who was pretty useless so i was wandering which one is the right one and also if i was looking in the correct shop.sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Dave Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 if you run a front freewheel make sure you get some on the lockring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 ^^^^Yarvol basically depends on wether you plan to ever get the bolt back off EVER again lolJust use a mild one it will lock but crack and then undoo as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sixstreet Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 243 - medium strength and will tolerate a bit of oil or grease residue so the parts dont have to be squeaky clean to get the bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
