Locktite on Manic hub adapter?

[Beej]

Do you guys use locktite or anything on the bolts when installing the manic mechanic hub adapter?

Beej,

You can use locktite blue on the adapter bolts if you like...it won't hurt anything. The main thing is to get them TIGHT! The allen wrench will bend before the threads strip...so use a cheater bar for leverage.

I do recommend using locktite blue on the three sprocket mounting bolts...get them good and tight as well.

Thank you sir.. Cheater bar it is and I think I will just use the locktite on the hub mounting.

I have used mine for a month and put quite a few miles on it and it hasnt come loose. I just tightened it as tight as it could go

I can attest to that. You gotta put better quality allen wrenches in the kits Jim!
