[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 2647, member: 4034"] [b]Bearing fit[/b] Many people swear by Loctite bearing fit. The occasional purist (and i don't knock them) swear at it. A friend used it to take up 0.002" clearance (that should have been interference) between the cam and the camwheel of his vintage bike several years ago. There has been nothing to report since. If you do plan to use it, read Know Thy Beast as a Vin owner's guide to where and how to apply. My advice would be go ahead, but if it's a main bearing that is walking, perhaps it would be prudent to find out why, and fix that problem by "classic" methods, first. There is an even stronger version of "bearing fit" but since both my bottles are labelled in Norwegian, telling you the stronger one is labelled "ekstra sterk" may not help you much. [/QUOTE]
