Loose Parts

I assume a drop of loctite would solve this problem. Is there a reason
NOT to put loctite on this bearing holder bolts/nuts? Or, is it a good
idea? --chirokid--

Yup, a little Loctite on the bearing holder nuts will help keep them
from vibrating loose. On the bearing holder nuts it isn't necessary to
reapply the Loctite every time you remove the wheel. Just having dried
Loctite in the threads of the nut will keep the nut snug and keep it
from vibrating loose. You can reapply the Loctite every time you adjust
the bearing holder nuts, but it's not totally necessary.

Damn! I got tricked into mentioning Loctite in this thread.
