The clutch on my rear mech became loose and required almost required no effort at all to straighten it.
I found a guide online to remove the plastic plug and tighten however after 2 rides its gone again (and the chain keeps falling off)
Its looking like I have a faulty mech or can I Loctite something?
Thanks

might be a bit duff, I tightened mine and its still stiff a couple months on.
What guide did you use? Mines gone a bit slack but I didn't know you could tighten it.
TBhHthere is nothing to it.
there is a big plastic plug on one of the main joints. Flip it out and tighten the big torx screw
I might give that a go tonight then, if it all goes wrong I'm going to blame you!
Be careful when you take the casing off, theres a big spring inside which will ping out and not fit back in again.
The casing doesn't need to come off though?!
pop the centre black plug out and tighten with a t50. the plug just hides the torx bolt
Really.... *goes off to inspect his floppy mech*
anyway back to my question. Can i lock tite this T50 in?
Did mine this week and you don't really need a T50 Torx as an 8mm Allan key will do very nicely. Stayed tight on the first ride but I think I had a bit too much tension so have backed it off a bit. Very easy to do.
