rear rotor bolts

[mtbnick]

the bolts on the rear rotor of my avid mech come loose during just about every ride and it has been doing this since i first put them on. is this normal? or has something gone retarded? i find it particulary strange because the front rotor is fine and i only have to tighten every month or so.

hint: Loctite Blue (formerly loctite 242) thread locker.

Do not use anything other than blue though. The high temps generated on disk hubs will fuse the theads if you use the stronger versions of loctite.

thanks snirch, i always hestitated to use any loctite because of the possibility of the bolts fusing.
