I was just wondering if any one who owns a pair or has had much experience with them, if you have had many problems with the rear hub. More specifically the cones coming loose or over tightening etc. Iv had mine lock tight on the bearings and today i found the drive side cones were loose again.
They have been regularly serviced (usually when they have came loose already) and ar now not feeling or sounding as smooth as they once were. The grease is still fresh inside from the last service so i don't think its that.
Does any one have any suggestions or experience with this problem.
Thanks

sounds like the lock nuts being incorrectly tightened.
never ever needed thread lock an any hub axle with lock nuts."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

what do you mean being incorrectly tightened? (too lose? too tight?)0

Too loose if they are coming loose.I don't do smileys.

I have been tightening them as much as possible with a park tools cone spanner and allen key. I used a extension on the Key today so will see if it holds0
