Nah but we had a pretty good discussion about double nutting.

Since we had the situation last year already, here’s the sound version.

I swear I’m not trying to reinvigorate this, but just really want to say check your TB axles. I was trying to take the nut/wheels off to put on a new gear drive board (switching away from DD’s) I’m building, and I’m like hey why is the wheel not coming off and I pulled real lightly and I was actually unscrewing the axle / the axle came off

so really, I know everyone checks their stuff totally religiously here but, if your axles came installed and you haven’t, double check :- ) these are from the DD set that failed in less than a mile, so not even a mile on these and the pre-installed and loctited (can you use a smaller amount?) axles failed as well, thank fuck the DD’s failed

_{low key though, very insulting that I pay for somewhat premium stuff and you can’t even be generous with loctite, a dead customer cannot buy more garbage from u just fyi}

_{or just literally mail them uninstalled, you’re doing nobody any favors by using such a small amount of loctite}

cfelzien · January 12, 2021, 5:26am

So you need some loctite?

worldismine772 · January 12, 2021, 6:25am

not sure if that is a joke, but it’s pretty egregious that you pay $700 for some drives and they can’t even use enough loctite, and those that think it’s acceptable, you are truly an idiot (no offense)

BillGordon · January 12, 2021, 6:52am

Yeah, @cfelzien . You fucking suck. (No offense.)

cfelzien · January 12, 2021, 7:17am

I know I do. I’m just living my best life, striving daily to be like @BillGordon. I suck everything. (No offense)

xsynatic · January 12, 2021, 7:25am

Don’t let Jason read that.

cfelzien · January 12, 2021, 7:26am

You have to say no offense you asshole. (No offense) see the difference
