anyone ever seen this rotation and movement and any ideas of the cause/fix.....
i don't remember my bikes back in the day doing this as a regular thing.....
they don't change enough to warrant right away re-setting ...but it is not a great feeling to see that the axle rod has threaded it's way too the left again..
also it seems to stay consistant once it scoots back over a tad out...
thanks craig

you need to use some blue locktite on ALL of your friend end parts
Absolutely, a must. And proper torque via manual.
This thing only has two wheels... :blink:

ill see ya there,ill wear the blue dress you love so much! :woohoo:yeah i guees lock tight is an obvious easy way to end the threads from heading out to the left/rotation of the axle.....i just wondered too if anyone has seen this /is it common /does it have anything to do with having my single disk on the left side / a bearing that bites for a flash under hard loads ect....
