(chief) Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi well my bb keeps coming undone I was think of putting some lock tight on it will this work because it might come lose with vibrations when you bash or something and it might be very hard to get it out when you want to. I am not sure chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerz Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) I have also found this problem but putting lock tight on it will solve the prob well it has for me and no it shouldn't be too difficult to remove afterwards, it's not like glue. Go for it!! i use it on alot of my threaded parts. Edited January 7, 2007 by powerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOO! 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 the problem could be that your not tightening it on enough you should invest in a torque wrench therefore, you will be able to give it all the Nm (NEWTON METERS) it need! or if you want you could try the lock tite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris mac Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hello, while you have your bottom braket out if you spray wd 40 on the threds of your frame and bottom braket, this will displace the grease from it and give it a quick scrub with a tooth brush. dont bother with the lock light your better off using strength. as if you arnt strong enough to tighten it enough to stop it form coming loose you might not be able to get it out when you need to. hope ive helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryallmaster Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Mine kept on coming lose a while back so i tried putting super glue on it and its worked a treat. I didn't have lock tight at the time!Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambton Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 reet o fella, take ur BB out, take the bike/frame to a bike shop and get the threads "chased" that'll properly clean em out!clean the threads on the BB itself also and yeah, wack on some locktite!make sure you do put on some grease though.Lasty........give em some pasty when you come to tighten it up, you'll do well to strip the threads in your frame if you haven't cross threaded it from the start but you would realise straight away unless you a re a moron!!good luck!!
