Hi All,
I have an older (maybe 8 years old) XTR set-up that has worked flawlessly up until now. The crank screw on the drive-side backs out about every 5 miles or so of singletrack. It's maddening having to stop and tighten it all the time!
I replaced the bottom bracket probably about 2 years ago, but this backing-out problem has just recently started. I try and crank down on it, but I fear I may do other damage if I really crank down on it. I've read conflicting ideas on the use of Loctite as well.
Is my bottom bracket shot? Any other ideas?
Thanks so much in advance!
