Popular Post svenomous Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi all, see this: I wanted to start a separate thread to call attention to this, for anyone who's tempted to use Loc-Tite or another thread-locker compound to help secure bolts/screws when taking apart and putting together their KS wheel. My advice is, don't let the stuff touch a KS inner shell, because whatever plastic that's made of seems to draw the compound into itself, where it acts like acid and cracks the plastic apart within a short period of time. Jason at eWheels talked to KS about my shell-cracking problems, and they told him they believe the thread-locker is acting as a solvent on the plastic. To paraphrase the text message he showed me, their quality department indicated that the thread-locker makes the shell fragile, and that they stopped using any thread-locker at the beginning of the year. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
