BlogMeet Photos?
...Later. I spent too much time on laundry and fooling with the Sistema. Old grip screw bushing out, best of my removed old ones in, this time with Loctite (purple). We'll see how it does. If the grip slips, I'm gonna put a shim under it.
Just make sure your purple Loctite is actually purple. For a while they put Red Loctite in a blue tube with a little label saying 'Red' and the Blue in a red tube labeled 'Blue'. Almost caused a friend to permanently bond some wheel nuts but we gave him the heads up and he got them cracked off before it set.

By all means, the Sistema must come first!
ReplyDeleteUm, see, I sort of borrowed the Loctite from Handsome Dave's workbench....

ReplyDeleteI think they straightened it back out now.
...It's howlin' purple as it comes out. I'd'a used red happily but we had purple and it is supposed to do better with fine threads.
