mik60ish Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 My grandson's 2014 Raga 300 bottom bolt Reiger shock keeps coming loose have tried loctite quite a few times but it still keeps coming loose. Has anyone had this problem and how to cure it? tried a spring washer same size as hex head but it seizes the shock as the spinde doesn't go right through by that washer depth. I don't think there's enough room to get a nylock nut on a longer bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Machine down the nylock to make a narrow nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffe Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Mik60ish I have been told that a nylock nut only needs two threads contact on the bolt to do it's job. That's according to the guy a my local bolt and nut shop. I just bought new nylock nuts for my rear sprocket. Taff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffsgasgas Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I've flipped the triangular linkages so that my bolt now enters from the chain side. Now it's holding fine. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
