    ;p bit of routine maintenance today as it's wet out and I found 2 loose motor nuts. One was pretty loose and I could of been in for a nasty fall if I hadn't found. Look after your mistress :kissing_heart::punch::punch::thumbsup::beers:

    Do you recommend using Loctite red or similar after replacing a motor?

    Loctite blue or low strength cos you need to undo again at some point. :thumbsup:

    I was riding for about 12 miles on a 18 miles ride in Washington DC and there were several long wooden bridges. It caused a lot of vibration even on the 97mm. At one point while going really slow I felt that my rear trucks were really loose/wobbly. To my utter surprise, when I stopped and checked, the king pin nut, washer, and first bushing has fallen off completely. I freaked and thought I will have to call Uber since I was still about 6 miles away. Thankfully we back track and found the nuts and washer and bushing. Made it home but shaken up.

    Now I install the lock but upside down. Tight side in first so it won't "fall" off as easily. Also carry extra just in case. Don't want to get stranded. Yes. Regularly check all your nuts!!!
