Hey Guys, I am having trouble with the axle locknuts loosening up on me all the time, anyone have any suggestions on how I can get them to lock in place?? I have re-tightened them numerous times but when I get back from riding they are always loosened up....

Thx
:confused:

1) grab an aftermarket axle nut with set screws..

2) grab some red loc-tite..

mine was loosening up about every other ride until I used a few drops of the red loc-tite, just remember a little bit goes a long way, and you may have to heat the nut up to loosen it the next time you have to take it apart...

Just use some electrial tape and wrap up all the treads including the nut. That is all I have been doing and I haven't had a problem with it. ;)
