When do you need to loctite bearings?

Is that an emtb thing?

Wait a minute, is that for when you replace motor bearings?

A bit different from loctite. Put in on the screw, wait 15 minutes, then fasten. Can do a few cycles of insert/remove. Great for spare screws ready to go.

I like this stuff so far. Good to carry in the toolbag I take when I ride. Kinda don’t have to wait for it to cure. Don’t have to carry the whole roll – just wrap some around something small and throw it in the toolbag.

Also hobbyking sells ridiculously cheap generic threadlock (and CA glue and epoxy).
