thicker sprocket nut worth a check

[Adam2201]

I honestly don't know if it's original - I can't find the advert from when I bought the bike now, but would assume it had been changed before I bought it.  Did the original ones have any distinguishing features? It's at 30k miles now and I should have changed it 6 months ago when I did the clutch cable as I could see it was going downhill.


My experience is from pushbikes, and before reading the threads on here I would have said that loctite was classed as a lubricant when you're doing something up (just like oil or grease), but I'm no expert.  Will be going belt and braces on it tonight when I put it back together (taking the opportunity to regrease swingarm and shock bearings/bushings), so hopefully I won't see any issues with it after.

Reading some of the earlier comments now, I don't think I'd got the lockwasher spread right accross the nut flats last time, so it may well have vibrated loose from that - it makes sense that I did something wrong as it didn't have any issues before..


Edit: not sure why the font size keeps going down to 1pt!
