So I've a SRAM Rival BB - and the drive-side cup stays done up for, oh, two weeks tops. :?

Both the creaking and the frequent re-installing are getting tedious. I can't use any more torque (about 5 stone-foot ought to work) so is it time for loctite?

(and no, it's not chased & faced as I trusted Litespeed to build it properly in the first place) :roll:

Thanks!

I'm not saying pedestrians in Hackney are stupid.. but a fixed bayonet would be more use than a fixed gear...

    Maybe a touch of thread lock?

    I've just installed a DA bottom brackey which came with a small bit of grey thread lock on it. Not sure of the strength of it.
