Loctite 243?
In the last hour of daylight I headed out on my Ridley to see what would fall off next. I did pretty much the same ride as last week but made sure to simulate a race with lots of bumps and hard braking. The vevparti stayed attached and actually felt pretty good. Nothing else seemed to be wrong either. MEN...when I was rinsing the bike off I noticed that the fork had loosened yet again. It was not as much as during the race but enough to wonder what I did wrong. But I didn't put this on so I can blame someone else.
Is it time for some Loctite 243 on the screws of the styrstam? Will that help or does it sound like something else is wrong? I have the same problem on my MTB so it would be nice to solve this.
Now I will stretch my tubdäck again and see if I will be ready to use them this weekend. But now I am tired since I was riding on stora klingan most of the time and the position must be a bit different since I feel träningsvärk again.
And if you did not come to this page via Björn's blogg, you will have missed this pic of Jens Westergren airborne in the sand. If you are going to have a vurpa, why not do it in style?

Det känns lite konstigt att bultarna till styrstammen skall vibrera loss. Man spänner ju först skruven som ger lagerspänningen sedan så drar man båda skruvarna till styrstammen lika hårt. Det kanske är så att du har dragit dom för löst eller ojämt? Har du smörjd dom så kanske det är det som gör det?
Konstigt it is. I will try again and make sure both screws are equally tight. If the problem continues I guess I need to take it apart and see what is wrong/missing.
So that is a NO to Loctite then, or?
Chris
Hej Chris!
Jag tror att det är ett inkörningsproblem, lagerbanorna "sätter" sig, so you have to do this adjustments for a while.
NO loctite!
Check out vilket moment du skall dra skruvarna med, det brukar stå någonstans på styrtappen. If not, check with the manufacturer on their site.
Peter
Hej Peter!
I am hoping that you are right. It is sitting well at the moment so maybe this will work. If not, I will adjust again.
Chris
