Title: Axle Nut
Post by: zcarlson12 on August 10, 2014, 10:13:43 PM: I've noticed that after each ride recently my rear brake hub is loose. I don't have an anti-fade, just the regular nut from T&T. Is there something else that's causing this or do these really come loose this often?

I came up with a couple ideas after talking with my friends at a local machine shop so I'm going to try those and if that doesn't work out I'll just buy an anti-fade. I was curious to see if other people had the same problem often. How do you like that TC ported cylinder?

Use Honda specs when tightening bolt or nut. I use blue loc tite but not too much, and have never had any problems doing it using Hondas specs.
