A drop on every part that might otherwise ahake loos will even keep an old BSA or Norton from shedding parts. I'm a big believer in Loctite. Jobst wasn't, but I never understood why. Maybe because he was of German ancestry? Now that Loctite is owned by Henkel that might be different :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Or did he actually approve of "prevailing torque" nuts - like Nylocks??? |

I believe he simply thought that if fasteners were tightened correctly, no locking compound was necessary. But IIRC, his bikes were rather naked. No fenders, no racks, only one water bottle cage, no headlight, no dynamo. There really wasn't much to come loose. -- - Frank Krygowski |

With my foul memory I can't be sure but I believe that Jobst lived around here but I don't think I ever met him. |
