[QUOTE="redbloke1956, post: 23974, member: 2299"] Thanks Black Flash, I have worked in the aeronautical industry for over 22 years and our wide ranging use of Loctite gives me great confidence in their products, I have never come across a single product that didn't validate their claims. The new spindle is a very good fit in the hole, in fact you can even feel the compressing of air as the spindle is inserted and the partial vaccuum as it is removed, I can feel virtually no discernible wobble from the spindle when fully inserted either. I will certainly ponder the amassed info from this thread but I think I will at least try the Loctite until I can actually start the machine for the first time. I know that upon first start I am bound to come across even more problems, as you mentioned, so far each repair I have carried out has uncovered even more issues...(far more than I expected considering how much I paid for the bike)...but that is the nature of a 60 year old beast. Thanks again Kevin [/QUOTE]
