pearson23 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Which bolts would you apply a bit of lock tight too? Assume brake caliper and brake disc bolts, anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I would not lock tight caliper bolts. I would anti-seize them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 .You don't need to loctite anything,just spannercheck it every 3or4 rides Loctite can make it difficult to remove things when necessary Better to copaslip all the fasteners so it will come to bits Mud and jet washing tends to seize things up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I would certainly lock tight brake disc bolts ive had them come loose and destroyed my hub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I normally thread lock, Disk bolts, Sprocket bolts, Flywheel Nut, Kickstart bolt, Steering stem locknut and anything else that shakes loose. I use a low to medium strength thread lock, It also stops bolts rusting in too, If you use the correct tools to undo them and providing the bolts are in good order to start with, There should be no problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Blue = stays put until you remove with proper tool and some muscle Red = stays put forever unless heat, muscle and a leverage assisting device is used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc181 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Blue = stays put until you remove with proper tool and some muscle Red = stays put forever unless heat, muscle and a leverage assisting device is used. I just use the red stuff because it matches my bike better than the blue does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
