Title: What Threadlock?
Post by: davec on 28 February 2012, 06:53:22 pm

What threadlock would you recommend or have you used when replacing the front sprocket nut?I don't want to use the ultimate strenght stuff that has to be heated to 300 degrees before you can remove the nut but I want something that will hold the nut tight until I need to replace the front sprocket.Thanks in advance for any replies.

Looks like you need blue thread lock

Not my research

Loctite do two main types of threadlock, Red grade which is semi-permanent (practically superglue - get the impact wrench out!!) and Blue grade (milder threadlock, breakable with a hand wrench).
Apparently the Blue stuff serves a dual purpose, one to protect the threads from corrosion and to prevent vibration and heat/cold from working the bolts loose over time.
