For those that run this, I have had to tighten the set screws after each ride. There will always be at least 2 that are loose. Not always the same ones either. I have numbered them to verify which are coming loose. The instructions says not to use thread locker. I am tightening as tight as I think is needed. How tight are you going or do you use blue Loctite?

I've checked mine a couple of times, maybe every 5th ride and have never found them to be loose. Now you have me worried. I can't see the harm of using blue loctite if you are going to check them each ride. Or maybe pin a thread over a bit so it fitment is snug.

Off to the garage now!

Ski, I checked mine as advised after the first ride, 2 were loose. I checked again after the next ride, one was loose, then it was 3 then 2 and so on. I don't know why Steahly doesn't want thread lock on these. Or is it just the main threads? I am going to use some blue on them anyways. The problem is the little allen bolts don't come out.

if you do it right the first time theres no problem. medium loctite the screws tighten ride

mine have never come loose, can't remember if i used loctite, think i did, but my mind has been affected by chemicals since then they have all remained tight though

I checked mine after the first few rides. Never were loose, so I quit checking them.

Didn't use any thread locking agent.

If you do, there's a real good chance you won't get'em loose. Flywheels are expensive!! You don't want to mess one up.

When I got mine, Chuck Steahly made note of the instructions, 'NO LOCTITE' He thinks it's important, anyway.

How tight? Never checked it with a torque-o-meter. You know the 'feel' you get when things are tight enough (some do, some don't)? Mine are a tad tighter than that.

Oh, and I've had mine off/on a bunch of times. What with lighting coils and timing changes and such. I'm not saying I put it on once and forgot about it.

Guess I should check mine....thanks for the reminder!
