Rad Lock Nut?

[REDRIDDER]

I just bought one off ebay bought it 8/14 came on 8/17 fast shipping but my question is who has one and how good does it work.

[Aceman]

I do, works fine.

[REDRIDDER]

anyone else? have one and how long didi you have it on any prblems?

[wilkin250r]

I've had one for about 5 years, no problems at all.

[REDRIDDER]

nice, doesnt losen too much?

[Aceman]

Let me try saying this a different way since I must not be making myself clear..................it works fine! If it loosened while riding, it wouldn't work fine, would it?;)

[REDRIDDER]

How do you install a RAD locknut? Take the stock skinny jamnut off and replace it with a RAD locknut? Or take both the big nut and the small jamnut off?

Yes, remove both nuts.

Yep, complete castration. Remove both nuts. :p

On the stock unit, one nut keeps the axle tight, the other nut is a jam nut, it keeps the first nut from loosening. With the RAD locknut, it locks itself, it doesn't need the second jam nut.

I wondered who would jump on that one:blah:

I use the jamnut with my RAD. Do I need to? Going off others' experience, I guess not--but I do anyway.
