If you are talking about the axle nut. Yes! They need to be monitored constantly.
LSR makes a great set up tp replace the nut and will fix all your problems. It is alittle $$$ but worth it!
very common problem, i race XC and what i do and alot of others is tighten the nut, spray it with carb cleaner so its not greasy, and wrap it tightly with electrical tape.....it will not move trust me, then if the axle comes loose after a ride its the bearings
If you are in need of a new Axle nut give us a call at LSR and we will get one on order for you right away. Please note that all members receive 10% off retail prices for being board members of TRXforums.com
