What does this mean? What is threadlock?02GF74 said:We can only presume extreme laziness - probably took longer to type up the post, then read replies than to remove the wheel!!
Assuming the thread has not stripped in the frame, chase out thread with a tap, use a new bolt and some threadlock. Job done for all eternity if done correctly.
What is threadlock?
OK, thanks, longers.longers said:There's a few types of threadlock here.
I've not used any but have seen it in a few places on bikes. It's not for pedals though.
I've seen type 242 recommended for cartridge bb's by Park Tools on their fitting guide.

A lifetime of knowing that, where you've used the threadlock at least, the world is as it should be!
Money well spent, unless you're planning on dying in the next 12 months - cos then it would be costing as much as 2p a day to avert trouble unnecessarily.
