My rear suspension bolts are loose already after just a few rides, what Loctite should I use on the threads?

Loctite 242 😉

248. Blue Loctite in chapstik form! Awesome.

2nd Joe G. Really useful stuff.

Make sure whatever it is you end up with is “Low Strength” Loctite make stuff that goes all the way to permanent 😥 They also make cleaner for use on the threads which I don’t see getting used often.

The Loctite 242 and 248 are both ‘medium strength’, but Davesport has recommended using a low strength version.

Can anyone clarify which should be used?

243 medium strength will be fine

Loctite 222

Loctite 222 Low strength, general purpose Threadlocker, Breakaway torque 6Nm

Cheers people. Found some Loctite 243 I had in my toolbox, used that, that ok?

omg no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The correct torque?

243 is fine; same strength as the 242 but less runny.

What you’ve got should be fine but I’ve never needed anything stronger than 222 on a bicycle.
