Disc Failure
There's a lot wrong here but the flopping disc and loosened
bolts have worn into the fork casting. http://www.yellowjersey.org/photosfr...t/faildisc.jpg Could be a great advertisement for earbuds! -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Wow, even with earbuds, how do you not feel that? I use loctite on my six-bolt rotors or the factory supplied thread-locker on rotor bolts. -- Jay Beattie. |

I've never come cross the idea that people *don't* use a drop of LocTite Blue on them. One of the few (only?) places I use thread lock. |

I think I would notice fairly quickly if they came loose and I always carry a multi tool so I could easily tighten the bolts while I am out. -- JS |

Wear on the disk cause vibration that can counter-rotate the screws out. It may be likely that you look often enough at your bike to catch if but proper torque is not "nipping it up. As Andrew's picture demonstrates. |

As Andrew's picture demonstrates. Every 6 bolt disk I bought came with screws with that blue goop on. Every centerlock disk I bought came with a lockring. If you torque the screws or lockring to spec the disk don't come loose. Lou |

As Andrew's picture demonstrates. Iāve never had this happen, used disks for 13/14 years, the old MTB is now the commuter and has done fairly intergalactic mileage, did change the brakes about 7/8 years ago canāt remember if the rotas where changed at that point or not? Either way the rotas have been there and on my other two bikes for quite a few years and havenāt ever loosened, clearly can happen. Roger Merriman |
