Re: Thread Lock, what do you use?

There are loads of different formulae of Loctite, and each has different characteristics. Some "lock" tighter than others, so only use the stronger ones if you rarely, if ever, want to undo the fastening again. Others have resistances to heat or fluids- some won't work with exposure to oil...

Re: DevonStorm 24. 21st -24th June

I'll be staying on after the Devon weekend to visit Cornwall for the week. That means I'll be up for a rideout Sunday as well, if anyone fancies joining me?
