do any of these crank guys know about orings? lol loctite big mess just did a rd 400 all oringed runs perfect
What's done here, are you machining o-ring grooves in the cases or using "NR" bearings with o-rings in place?
very simple nr bearing install orings and assemble loctite? why in the h would u want that junk all over
I suppose that could work, you'd want to be careful sizing the o-ring or you could end up preloading the bearing more than desired. Another downside is the NR bearings do not come with any other features, such as polyamide cages, something I decided to go with this rebuild.
I used red loctite the last rebuild without issue but I'll be following LC's lead with the 610 product this time around.
